Surrealism and the Cinema: Open-eyed Screening (Revised)

"Surrealism and the Cinema: Open-eyed Screening" (1976) was an iconoclastic work with its insightful readings of the films of Bunuel, Hitchcock, von Sternberg and Samuel Fuller and references to paintings and  comic book art. It broke from academic conventions with its use of emotion and humour and found a place in film courses, libraries and on the book shelves of film lovers and art students. One of the first books in English on this topic. Extensively revised as an e-book. (2011). www.feelthesurreal.com
