Surrealism rejects typical conventions of Hollywood films for a type of filmmaking that attacks the views of the time of creation. The main target was Bourgeois society – the middle classes. The Surrealist movement began in Paris in the early 20th Century, around 1920. It was started by Salvadore Dali, a famous Surrealist artist, and Luis Bunuel, a Spanish film director.
The Main Features of Surrealist Cinema:
- Follows no clear narrative
- No "main" characters, with no back story, personality or clear goals
- Devoid of generic conventions
- Attacks stereotypes
- Targets political, religious and other views
- Main target was Bourgeois society (Middle Class Society)
