Antonin Artaud's aim was to discover the "mechanisms of dreams in order to reconstitute the violent power of dreaming as a process, overruling interpretation or explanation. 'He formulated the tearing away of image from representation and giving it to the viewer as a pure image." audience were are then in a subdued position to it, and the experience triggers a violent unleashing of their senses. However, Artaud faced alot of trouble trying to turn his theories into actual films. impressionist filmmaker Germaine Dulac directed Artaud's only completed screenplay, La Coquille et le clergyman ( The Seashell and the Clergyman , 1928), which Artaud rejected as a distortion of his theories on surrealism.
The Seashell and the Clergyman was directed in 1927 by Germaine Dulac, after a surrealist screenplay by Antonin Artaud.
The first authentic surrealistic movie.
