• W330711156 abstract "Between 1966 and 1969, Peter Whitehead wrote a series of reviews for the British fi lm magazine Films and Filming. The magazine had begun in 1954 and would be published monthly up until 1990. At the time of Whitehead's involvement, it was edited by the respected cinema journalist Robin Bean and was noted for publishing the work of critics such as Raymond Durgnat. In his own critical writing, Whitehead places emphasis less on the technical aspects of the fi lms under his consideration than on the extent of their engagement with truth, being, and other key philosophical issues. When this material, the impression is created that they are compacted essays that use the fi lms as lenses through which to discuss a number of personal concerns. Whitehead's contributions to Films and Filming also consisted of reviews of fi lms by Apart from the review herein of the collaborative Paris vu par . . . , these have been included under Dossier: Godard.

In 1918 Tristan Tzara wrote, in his introduction to Dada that have repudiated all the distinctions between life and poetry; our poetry was a matter of living- and at about the same time, Alfred Jarry, with this is as his philosophy, identifi ed himself with Pere Ubu until he was indistinguishable from his creation.1 Four years later, Jean Cocteau wrote his novel Thomas l'Imposteur about the First World War in which he describes his young hero's death with these words-Thomas thought, I will be lost if I do not act as if I'm dead. But in Thomas, fi ction and reality had become Thomas is a young poet who, instead of writing poetry, lives it. To escape the reality of war and his untenable duty to be a soldier in it, he imagines himself to be someone else, just as in a similar way perhaps, Cocteau himself while serving at the same front with the Marine rifl emen, may have dreamed away the time creating his character Thomas. Cocteau gave the rights to Franju to make the fi lm of his novel, saying that he'd sooner be betrayed by him than anyone else. The master has been served very well. One image in Franju's fi lm, however, accidentally creates an experience in which fi ction and reality become simultaneous. A terrifi ed gallops through the surrealistic ruins of a town, vainly trying to escape the fl ames of its own burning mane. In the context of the fi lm, the image has tremendous power and works with almost archetypal immediacy. But coincident with this reading is a second one, for we suddenly realise that the is a real and not just a horse in a fi lm- it's not a acting!- it really is a frightened whose terror has been infl icted upon it by a fi lm unit making a fi lm. Whether or not this is justifi ed is another question but, for a second or so, the reality of the fi lm, the illusion, is breached; its reality is transcended by the image. We suffer for the both as an imaginary one and a real one. Such a moment is a Cocteau illumination, and for Franju too it would be an experience in which surrealism becomes real, when its use is justifi ed. It is not surprising after the unbelievable horrors of the First World War that soon after, poets should speculate on the nature of the tenuous imbalance between the real and the insane, for it is not so much Thomas who is mad, but war itself. …" @default.
