A photo from Un Chien Andalou(Andaluisan Dog)the film which is regarded as the first produced purely from within the Surrealist movement and is a landmark in the history of cinema.
Everyone who is interested in surrealism should pay attention to this work.
Un chien andalou (English: An Andalusian Dog) is a sixteen-minute surrealist film made in France in 1929 by writer/directors Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí. It is one of the best-known surrealist films of the French avant-garde film movement of the 1920s. It stars Simone Mareuil and Pierre Batcheff as the unnamed protagonists.

Grace Jones is one of my favouite singers.I really admire all her songs,she has got amazing voice.That's why you can see so many pictures of Grace on my profile,they are definetly a work of art...
Grace Jones is a contralto vocalist. She had a significant voice part in Arcadia's 1985 song and video, "Election Day", from the album So Red the Rose.
Grace Jones' masculine attire, height and manner was a clear influence on the 'power dressing' movement of the 1980s, and on musical artists such as Annie Lennox of Eurythmics.She would also exemplify the "box" haircut style in the 1970s, which would be worn by many black men all over America throughout much of the next decade, notably Larry Blackmon of the funk group Cameo. She maintained parallel recording and acting careers, her film roles and modelling work often overshadowed her musical output. Her strong visual presence extended to her stage work.
In her performances she adopted various personas and wore outlandish costumes, particularly during her years with Goude. One such performance was at the Paradise Garage in 1985, wherein she collaborated with visual artist Keith Haring for her costume. Harig painted her body in tribal patterns and fitted her with wire armor.The muralist also painted her body for the video to "I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect for You)."

"Eraserhead"-the most intriguing film I have ever seen.Made by one of my favourite directors-David Lynch.Difficult to make out,but worth watching!Can be compared to nightmare.
Eraserhead (released in France as The Labyrinth Man) is a 1977 surrealist-horror film written and directed by David Lynch. The film stars Jack Nance and Charlotte Stewart. Eraserhead initially polarized and baffled many critics and movie-goers, but over time the film has become a cult classic.
In 2004, the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Lynch has described his film as a "dream of dark and troubling things."
Eraserhead is considered a difficult film to understand and is open to various interpretations. For example, the review at DVD Verdict offers at least three interpretations. The story does not have a strictly linear plot, it is punctuated with fantasy/dream sequences of differing lengths, and the boundary between these sequences and the primary narrative strand is often blurred. Many have interpreted it as a visual-sound experience rather than a narrative or story, a film that is more about conveying a very specific and powerful mood and atmosphere. Lynch has said he has yet to read an interpretation of the film that is the same as his own.

What I really like about "Malèna" by Giuseppe Tornatore? First of all the plot was rather simple,but the way of direction was amazing.Great role of Monica Bellucci and Giuseppe Sulfaro!It tells rather sad but true story about people's character.And of course music composed by Ennio Morricone...
I was impressed.
Set in 1940 during World War II just as Italy enters the war, Malena's husband Nino Scordia leaves to serve in the war. Malena feels sad and tries to cope with her loss, as the town she has just moved to tries to deal with this beautiful woman who gets the attention and lustful stares of all the local men, including the 12-year-old Renato. However, in spite of the villagers' gossip, she continues to be faithful to her husband...

If anyone would ask me about my favourite book I would choose "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov.Why?Becasue I can read it for hundreds of times and i never have enough.It contains so many different symbols and thoughts...the main idea of the book is simply amazing!
The Master and Margarita is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, woven about the premise of a visit by the Devil to the fervently atheistic Soviet Union. Many critics consider the book to be one of the greatest Russian novels of the 20th century, as well as one of the foremost Soviet satires, directed against a suffocatingly bureaucratic social order.
Everything beginns in 1930 in Moscow,which is visited by Satan in the guise of Woland or Voland, a mysterious gentleman "magician" of uncertain origin, who arrives with a retinue that includes the grotesquely dressed "ex-choirmaster" valet Koroviev,a mischievous, gun-happy, fast-talking black cat Behemoth,the fanged hitman Azazello,the pale-faced Abadonna with a death-inflicting stare, and the witch Hella.The havoc wreaked by this group targets the literary elite, along with its trade union, MASSOLIT,its privileged HQ-cum-restaurant Griboyedov's House, corrupt social-climbers and their women (wives and mistresses alike) – bureaucrats and profiteers – and, more generally, skeptical unbelievers in the human spirit.
The opening sequence of the book presents a direct confrontation between the unbelieving head of the literary bureaucracy, Berlioz,and an urbane foreign gentleman who defends belief and reveals his prophetic powers (Woland). This is witnessed by a young and enthusiastically modern poet,Ivan Bezdomny.His futile attempt to chase and capture the "gang" and warn of their evil and mysterious nature lands Ivan in a lunatic asylum. Here we are introduced to The Master, an embittered author, the petty-minded rejection of whose historical novel about Pontius Pilate and Christ has led him to such despair that he burns his manuscript and turns his back on the "real" world, including his devoted lover, Margarita. Major episodes in the first part of the novel include Satan's magic show at the Variety Theatre, satirizing the vanity, greed and gullibility of the new rich; and the capture and occupation of Berlioz's apartment by Woland and his gang.

Rene Magritte-my heart belongs to his painitngs:)I'm absolutely fascinated by every single one.Pure surrealism with elements of the daily life.Magical fusion of images.
"Hegel's Holiday"
René François Ghislain Magritte was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became well known for a number of witty and amusing images. Magritte was born in Lessines, Belgium in 1898, the eldest son of Léopold Magritte, a tailor, and Adeline, a milliner. He began drawing lessons in 1910. In 1912, his mother committed suicide by drowning herself in the River Sambre. Magritte was present when her body was retrieved from the water, and the image of his mother floating, her dress obscuring her face, was to be prominent in his amant series. He studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels for two years until 1918. In 1922 he married Georgette Berger, whom he had met in 1913.
Magritte worked in a wallpaper factory, and was a poster and advertisement designer until 1926 when a contract with Galerie la Centaure in Brussels made it possible for him to paint full-time. In 1926, Magritte produced his first surreal painting, The Lost Jockey (Le jockey perdu), and held his first exhibition in Brussels in 1927. Critics heaped abuse on the exhibition. Depressed by the failure, he moved to Paris where he became friends with André Breton, and became involved in the surrealist group.
A consummate technician, his work frequently displays a juxtaposition of ordinary objects in an unusual context, giving new meanings to familiar things. The representational use of objects as other than what they seem is typified in his painting, The Treachery Of Images (La trahison des images), which shows a pipe that looks as though it is a model for a tobacco store advertisement. Magritte painted below the pipe, This is not a pipe (Ceci n'est pas une pipe), which seems a contradiction, but is actually true: the painting is not a pipe, it is an image of a pipe. (In his book, This Is Not a Pipe, French critic Michel Foucault discusses the painting and its paradox.)
His art shows a more representational style of surrealism compared to the "automatic" style seen in works by artists like Joan Miró. In addition to fantastic elements, his work is often witty and amusing. He also created a number of surrealist versions of other famous paintings.
