Available again after years out of print. "Surrealism and the Cinema" (1976) was an iconoclastic work with its insightful readings of the films of Hitchcock, von Sternberg and Samuel Fuller and references to comic book art alongside discussions of major surrealists like Bunuel, Magritte and Dali. It broke from academic conventions with its use of emotion and humor and found a place in film courses, libraries and on the book shelves of film lovers and art students. Extensively revised (2011).Reviews (of original edition):" ... accomplishes some remarkable insights and comparisons ... very provocative ... Gould should be praised for his daring visual juxtapositions ... for the excellent analyses ... and for the pure fun of a book so clearly unconcerned with the critical backlash of the academic community." -- William F. Van Wert, Journal of Modern LiteratureThere's something ridiculously logical and lifeless about academic efforts to define the relations between surrealism and film. Only humorous, sensitive eyes and alert minds can point to the surrealist wealth in the films around us -- this is the value of Michael Gould's exploration." -- Jay Leyda
