Date: Tue, 23 Jan 1996 14:29:00 +0800 From: d_rodan-AT-central.murdoch.edu.au (Debbie Rodan) Subject: Surreal imagery I am working on a textual/filmic analysis of the film _Sammy and Rosie Get Laid_ by Hanif Kureishi and Stephen Frears towards my thesis. I would appreciate some suggestions from any of the list members re the use of surrealist qualities or images in films. A number of surrealist elements appear in the film: for example, the cabbie/ghost, a severed finger with nail in Rafi's dinner, water turning to blood with skelton, the burning picture of Virginia Woolf. What I think I might need is some articles on how surrealist imagery works in films or texts (this sounds too broad a request?). What I would like is some insights into how to talk about these elements in relation to the issues raised in the film. I would appreciate any suggested references, articles list members may think of.
