The Shadow and its Shadow (2000)
From the publisher:
Here is a classic collection of writings by the Surrealists on their mad love of movie-going. Forty-odd theoretical, polemical, and poetical essays document Surrealism's scandalous and nonreductive take on film. The essayists include such names as Breton, Aragon, Desnos, Dali, Bunuel, and Man Ray, as well as many of the less famous, though equally fascinating figures of the movement.
