FRENCH IMPRESSIONISM AND SURREALISM (1918-1930)

The shocking eye-slitting scene in Un Chien Andalou, a French Surrealist film

World War I has definitely brought a lot of changes in the entire globe and there are so many things to talk about when we think of this. It may have played a big role to people’s life during those times, but for me, gunfights and dead people are just the mere things playing above my head whenever I hear about it. It’s so satirical and surprising that aside from the negative things that are linked when we say hostilities, it served as an opportunity for the birth of great and positive things in the world of filmmaking – French Impressionism and Surrealism.

The war has seriously destroyed countless things in French film industry where people were called up, film export was stopped and several film studios were shifted to wartime uses. But amidst all of these, it didn’t stop the two major firms, Pathe and Leon Gaumount to continue routes in theaters. The emergent need of filling up screens in 1915 led American films to invade French movie houses including the works of Douglas Fairbanks, Chaplin and De Mille.

When the war has finally ended, the agony of French film industry didn’t still finish for most of their audiences are seeing eight times more Hollywood films rather than patronizing their own. And to evoke its loosing audience, film firms started supporting young French directors that include Abel Gance, Louis Delluc, Germaine Dulac, Marcel L’Herbier and Jean Epstien and there started the innovative changes in French filmmaking particularly the birth of French Impressionists Cinema.

French Impressionist Cinema, also referred to as the first avant-garde or narrative avant-garde, is a term applied to a group of French films and filmmakers in 1918-1929, including the young directors mentioned above. These young directors considered filmmaking not as a commercial craft but instead regarded cinema as an art comparable to poetry, painting, and music. Cinema should, they said, be purely itself and should not borrow from the theater or literature.

French Impressionist Cinema as an avant-garde, focused on pictorialism, montage and diffusion. Though it was an experiment, Impressionist films is incomparable among others for it was so vibrant about its aspirations of focusing in framing and visual effects rather than narrative storytelling that the Hollywood films have had. It gained the name Impressionist because of its interest in giving narration considerable psychological depth. Impressionist films also manipulate plot time and subjectivity that the use of flashbacks and fantasies were very frequent. Impressionism’s emphasis on personal emotion gives the films’ narratives an intensely psychological focus. Impressionist’s films were very distinctive too when it comes to cinematography and editing where point-of-view shot of the character to a shot to where she or he was looking at, was widely used to present characters’ perceptual experience and optical impressions and distorted shots were use as camera movements when presenting a drunk or dizzy character. The Impressionists also experimented with rhythmic relations between shots as a characteristic of editing patterns.

Though Impressionist films were so ‘impressive’ when it comes to its camerawork, mise-en-scene treatment, optical devices and editing patterns, most foreign audiences had not taken to Impressionism for its experimentation was standardized to elite tastes. Considering that the era of silent film was fading for sound films have arrived, filmmakers didn’t take risk on experiments like those of Impressionist films and so by 1929, these kinds of movies have finally died down.

In the very same age where Impressionism as a movement took its place in the French film industry, Surrealism as a film movement too, coexisted in the 1920s. While French Impressionist filmmakers worked within the mainstream commercial film industry, Surrealist filmmakers relied on their own means and screened their work in small artist’s gatherings for private patronage.

Surrealist cinema was directly linked to Surrealism in literature and painting according to its spokesperson Breton, who then believed that film could help one abstract himself from “real life” whenever he felt like it. Surrealism was the first literary and artistic movement to become seriously associated with cinema by 1924-1929.

Furthermore, surrealist cinema is somewhat revolutionary for it is related to Dada cinema, rooted from grievances against World War I. Surrealist cinema is characterized by juxtapositions, the rejection of dramatic psychology, and a frequent use of shocking imagery. Features of Surrealist cinema include the search for bizarre or evocative imagery, the deliberate avoidance of rationally explicable form or style and overtly anti-narrative, attacking causality itself.

Many Surrealist films tease us to find a narrative logic that is simply absent. If in Impressionist films would motivate events as a character’s dreams or hallucinations, surrealist films, on the contrary, character psychology is all but nonexistent. In these films, sexual desire and ecstasy, violence, blasphemy and bizarre humor furnish events are employed. The style of Surrealist cinema is diverse. Mise-en-scene is often influenced by Surrealist painting that is artistically done an unreal while surrealist editing is a combination of some Impressionist devices where there are dissolves and superimpositions and some devices of the leading cinema.

Though Surrealist cinema as a movement that has greatly changed not only the world of filmmaking but so with the art, by 1930, it was also modestly fading for it was considered as an equivalent of communism and most Surrealist filmmakers moved to Hollywood and other sponsors stopped supporting the avant-garde.

World War I may have been melancholic, but never had it blown in my mind that it would source for the institutions of movements towards better filmmaking in not only in France or Germany but around the globe. Even if Impressionism and Surrealism are considered dead, I would like to believe that like what they always say in fashion, that there’s no fashion style that gets outdated and so goes with filmmaking styles, like German Expressionism, French Impressionism and Surrealism, they never get outdated in today’s filmmaking, for they are still widely used in different film genres such as horror film and film noir.
