Alain & Odette Virmaux - Le Grand jeu et le cinéma

This collection brings together the main texts on film by the Grand Jeu group. At first glance, one would think there exists a relative indifference of the group towards things on the screen, yet the correspondence between Vailland Daumal and Lecomte actually show  a frequent and lively curiosity for what they carefully avoid calling the 7th art. Other members of the group, as Peter and Andrew Audard Delons write about movies fluently and with passion, in the avant-garde journals or as Maurice Henry, in a large audience ... The attitude Press the Grand Jeu is not fundamentally different from that of Breton friends, and also many artists and poets. The Passion of the small group to the screen has been shorter than that of the Surrealists, their elders, but no less demanding and fierce.
