Jean Cocteau.


problems with your very question. A director like Fellini may have
affinities with surrealism, but is not a surrealist. Lynch even less so.
A semantic distinction can be made, as Elag likes to point out, between

mistakenly thinks surrealism is the use of a certain type of imagery.

surrealism in film is found, unavoidably, mostly in commercial films,
even if only in a single scene or image.





and so on. If you ever find videos of this stuff, let me know.






















especially funny.
