The Seashell and the Clergyman was directed in 1927 by Germaine Dulac, after a surrealist screenplay by Antonin Artaud. The first authentic surrealistic movie.

   This is also about Artaud’s perception of priests unable to remain celibate. Artaud could never get his mind of sex though he despised it and would never engage in it.

   It’s all about appreciating art and understanding it but this film was hard for me to understand…i guess it surrealism. it doesnt have to have a story

   I’ve always been fascinated by surrealism in film. To see the first actual surrealist movie
   is an experience.

   hahaha funny thing is that Im actually an extreme biking freak but I still had to watch this POS for an art class (which I really like). I just forgot to eat some shrooms before watching this weird ass, dead slow movie.

   btw, don’t forget these are just comments!

    whats so amazing about the very first surrealist movie ever made?
    you should at least be able to find the technical aspects fantastic considering the time period it was made in
    if it makes you want to puke then why the fuck did you watch the whole thing?
    leave this for people who actually care about art and film
    maybe extreme biking videos are more up your alley
