Jacques Delcorde

Souvenirs of a voyage into the universe of the Belgian surrealist painter. The film is an evocation of the mystery and macabre humour of paintings that unexpectedly juxtapose familiar objects or situations and dissociate them from their environment. This is one of the few films to deal with the philosophical basis of contemporary art. ('Reality is a word devoid of meaning; space is not certain; the world has lost all consistency. My task is to evoke the mystery.' - Magritte) (Amos Vogel)
