- "Part of a special issue on surrealism in motion pictures. The writer discusses surrealist practice in relation to film. The surrealists saw film as the ideal medium for expressing and exploring their concerns for several reasons, including its perceived similarities to the state of dreaming, which seemed perfect for their exploration of dreams and subconscious wishes. Such ideas underpin surrealist theory and practice in relation to film--the belief that the viewer's is an essentially creative role in negotiating a film's meaning--as well as perhaps forming the basis for the belief that film is inherently surrealistic. Beginning with an examination of the scene in Luis Bunuel's 1929 film Un Chien andalou, in which a razor slices open an eye and its contents spill out, the writer goes on to examine the idea of cinema as movement and locus within the process of surrealism, concluding that perhaps the surrealists' greatest contribution to film theory was their attempt to understand how films and dreams function as communication systems that are measurably different from verbal language."

- "Part of a special issue on surrealism in motion pictures. The writer examines the relationship between cinema and the artistic avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s. Noting that the relationship between the literary avant-garde--especially surrealism--and early French cinema stretches back to the mid 1910s, she asserts that it is the ability of cinema to "visualize dreams" that represents the guiding principle for its appropriation amid the representations of surrealism. She goes on to discuss the work of Louis Bunuel, whose films Un Chien andalou (1929) and L'Age d'or (1930) represent by far the most spoken-about exemplars of surrealist projects in the cinema. She concludes that such works as Jean-Jacques Beineix's 1986 film 37.2[degree] le matin/Betty Blue are examples of the possible reevaluation of surrealist themes and motifs in contemporary cinema."

- The influence of surrealist depictions of the body is evident in Hollywood films, particularly in 1950s and1960s science fiction and horror features such as 'Tomb of Ligeia' and 'Psycho.' In the 1990s, the surrealist influence reappears as an expression of psychotic sexuality in films such as 'Blue Steel,' Silence of the Lambs' and 'Basic Instinct.'.
