- The Seashell and the Clergyman 1928 (Restored Full Movie)
The first Surrealist film, written by Antonin Artaud, directed by Germaine Dulac. Restored version.
Before watching: Turn your sound OFF. Turn your lights down low. Go full screen. Then you might appreciate this classic more.
Why?
@@duncanhowarth9514 I believe because the soundtrack was not what the director had intended, but I'd have to research further to know for sure.
Or play some suitable music. Bell Witch just posted about this film. There are plenty of great choices that fit the atmosphere. Also try L'Inferno with the Icelandic band Wormlust!
This was banned by the U.K. censors when it first came out. The reason? “The film is so cryptic, it is rendered completely meaningless. If the film does have a meaning, it is doubtless objectionable.”
Jonathan Melia You can't be too careful.
Well that's the stuffy Brits for you (and I'm one of them! But not a stuffy one).
"...it is doubtless objectionable.(i.e.,, 'dirty')."
This is hilarious. Thank you.
americans have "I know it when I see it," brits have "I know it, even when I don't know it."
I highly recommend watching this with the album 'The Seashell and the Clergyman' by In the Nursery
And you were ab-so-lu-te-ly right...
great suggestion!
This is the way. Thank you.
Loved the album, thanks fr
Finally, first time seeing an antonin artuad media in action after all that reading
Every human being operates on the fifth dimension of perspective rather than the fourth or the third. Members of mankind who operate on the fourth dimension are amnesiacs who suffer from psychopathy. Those individuals cannot simulate the experiences of themselves in their minds nor the experiences from others. They may not empathize with themselves nor may they ever empathize with others. Every human being who suffers this specific ailment dies the loneliest death known to mankind. There is no way to perceive the third dimension until we become objective objects - that means death. That is my synopsis of The Seashell and the Clergyman if you're looking for an explanation. Artaud was ahead of his time.
It's great that these early pieces are finally being taken care of, at the time, they were of little value I think
Thank you. An work of Art , with contemporary advertisements now ironically.
A marvellously atmospheric film which I never tire of watching and a good restoration here. The soundtrack on this upload is all wrong to my ears and doesn't complement the obsessive, menacing, absurdist and dream-like qualities of the visuals. I've been watching it with various ambient/electronica tracks that are more appropriate in my opinion.
Wait until around 1:26, then play Ligeti's Requiem as the background score. It coincides with the scenes and accentuates the drama surprisingly well. When that ends, play "Hail the Nightmare", which coincides, thematically, with the next few minutes. That's what I did when I first saw it, anyway. I probably ruined the film experience by blending it with extraneous material, but is that not what the modern soundtrack trying to illuminate new angles of interpretation or whatever was trying to do?

I liked the soundtrack---it was trying to complement the bizzareness of the entire film. This is only my 2nd or 3rd time seeing this, and it's so different from what I remember. Been a long while since I've seen it. I like all the scenes filmed in those dark hallways, too.
*In The Nursery announce the release of a new soundtrack album - The Seashell & the Clergyman - the 9th in their Optical Music series. Widely recognised as the first surrealist film, The Seashell and the Clergyman is a complex, controversial and multi-layered film directed by Germaine Dulac, from an original scenario by Antonin Artaud. The BBFC famously banned the film stating "If there is a meaning, it is doubtless objectionable".*
started watching this and thought "man.. the sound is just not... idk..."
Scrolled through the comments... Good to know i'm not alone.
I just watched the movie yesterday with live music by Dom La Nena. I highly recommend it! Wonderful and much more adequate than this soundtrack.
i will be sure to be on drugs the next time i watch this
Ok, finally we found where Lynch inspired for Red Room (Black/White Lodge)
Не, это из практики осознанных сноведений. Чтобы был осознанный сон, нужно представить комнату или дворец, и можна возращаться вновь и вновь. Для того, чтобы сон был устойчивый представляют, как метафору, фонтан.
Huge thanks for uploading this
I imagine that most Nurse With Wound albums would make great soundtracks to any surrealist film.
Great quality, thank you!
great soundtrack ! ...and fits well to the film and how it trivialize the complex in the male protagonist sexuality.
Yea
The soundtrack made it too whimsical. If you read the actual screenplay by Artaud, the atmosphere is significantly more strained and swimming with latent terror. I can see why he wasn't happy with the cinematography as well. But, as the only Artaud film in existence, I highly enjoyed it all the same.
I'm a huge Artaud fan, so what I have to say is that it indeed is not as extreme and psychologically disturbing/evoking as Artaud's own aesthetic is (so I understand very well his own opinions on it) but it is regardless, still one of the greatest films of all time, period! :)
Agree, the music is all wrong.
Film music was certainly different back in the 1920s. I thought this soundtrack worked perfectly.
I'm using 'Ice Cream For Crow' as the soundtrack.
I'm using silence :)
The soundtrack would have been more appropriate for a gentle Jacques Tatí comedy than for a film about sexual jealousy and desire
The new musical interpretation ruins it for me. The original, however faded, doesn't have those obnoxious plucky strings. It is more hypnotic.
It was originally a silent film. Are you referring to the music in another re-issue of the film...?
Great Germaine!!. La síntesis Freudiana llevada al cine. 💭💤👀
Chapeau Artaud too!
lol I loved this soundtrack...deal with it !!
fr the soundtrack goes so hard
Was the film originally silent? I love the music, though it sounds contemporary.
It was scored many different ways, by many different people. Welcome to Absurdism. Read some Camus and listen to Saccharine trust or something, lol...drink some Absinthe and/or drop a few tabs....fingerpaint with your body...or just enjoy the last leg of PostModern Art and be thankful you can do so. A new Era Dawns upon the Horizon!
"The first Surrealist film..." Dear Mike, qué piensas de/what do you think about: Entreacto - René Clair - 1924?
Entr'acte is more insertable in the dadaist current actually.
It's strange that Entreacto should be labeled "Dada" as it came out in 1924, the year Surrealism started, two years after Dada ended.
Amazing... (sound off)

Did anyone see Twin Peaks in this movie?
the military man as BOB, the clergyman as MIKE & the Fireman, the sea woman as Laura, the shell woman at 19:24 as JUDY
You Go Girl
Thank you.
La musica non è in sintonia con il film
Sublime...
Soundtrack is very wrong
I saw this when I was a kid at Reg Hart's private cinema high on shrooms, along with some other surrealist films it went faaaaar better with Wagner
17:00 Спасибо 😬 Как раз Великий пост, и я на воздержании. Хорошая попытка, но нет.
i recon its about a dirty old vicar, like erasorhead it is what it is.i liked the music,very french
고전찬미 감사합니다
Not the first surrealist film. That would be Bunuel and Dali, "Un Chien Andalou" ("An Andalusian Dog") 1927.
"Un Chien Andalou" was released in 1929, no?
Starlight13tls yes, this is the first, un chien andalou is one year later - however, it is the first that wasn’t percieved negatively by the audiences. germaine got the worst reception for this
Andalou was conceptualized through this film as Bunuèl and Dalí saw it and knew Artaud.
Un Chien Andalou came after this
Okay fans, the late/great Herk Harvey was mainly the director of industrial shorts. But he had one significant claim to fame with his 1962 Cult Horror film "Carnival of Souls" (still Very creepy and much-loved). Herk was knowledgeable about some obscure Cinema. I have wondered for years if his Creepy 'Dance of the Dead' penultimate scene was Inspired by having once seen "Seashell---" (notably time-steps 17:28 - 18:22). Who will ever know. I wrote the screenplay author, John Clifford, years ago, but he has 'passed' as well. Does anyone else 'see' what I'm talking about, or is it just my heart meds acting up?! HJ
p.s. Sorry for the typo, I meant "time-stamps" (odd word regardless). HJ
Yes, I love "Carnival of Souls" Hilligoss is perfect.. I do see what you mean with the dancing bits.. quite possibly he saw this film - but we will never know, as we don't for many more films with similar scenes which hold our interest. Always dug the great organ music Candace plays in Carnival with the altered jazz chord extensions, music from two worlds. For sure, you are paying attention my friend.. That's good to see.
Was this score added by Mike Kesidis or by the restoration co? Is this the 2012 version?
thanks
Enjoyed the film., Watched this with Phillip Glass' "music In Twelve Parts" on my headphones. I didn't like the soundtrack., tee-hee.
FilmsFor SMARTpeople I always watch it completely silent and it retains its very heavy emotional and psychological impact, it's a masterpiece of silent film in every single way
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE No - the music soundtracks are listed in the details!
Three tracks by 'Pascal Comelade'.
Often, silent films would be performed accompanied by a pianist or small pit-orchestra.
Is this the version that Steve Severin scored the music for?
the music likes which played by a child
主人公の聖職者は信者の女性に密かに片思いを寄せていたが、軍人に横取りされて、こともあろうに結婚式をあげられてしまいそうになる。主人公は妨害しようと試みるが、全く効果がない。次第に現実と妄想の区別がつかなくなっていく。かなりグロテスクですが、うら若い聖職者の内面の葛藤、聖職者には許されない欲情がよく描かれています。きれいごとでは済ませられない若者のグロテスクな性欲が逆に悲しくなってくる。主人公は真面目そのものです。聖職者でさえなければ俺は...。まるでキェルケゴール。私は『アンダルシアの犬』よりこちらの方が好きです。リメイクされ、素晴らしいsoundtrackを付けてくれました。サイレントのままじゃ、ちょっと耐えられません。
大きな貝殻は女性器、貝殻に入っている赤いワインは、あの血液。軍人の刀は男性器。聖職者が貝殻をもて余していると、それを羽振りの良さそうな、胸に勲章をたくさんつけた将校がサッと奪い取って、刀で真っ二つに切る。そこからグロテスクでコミカルな聖職者の復讐劇は始まった。ポイントは、軍人(俗人)の恋愛はロマンチックで、聖職者のはグロテスクに彩られていることでしょうか？逢い引きしているところに邪魔ばかりして割り込む。女性から嫌われれば嫌われるほど、欲情は燃え上がる。後半で、聖職者は水面に浮かぶ城(愛の巢)の主を妄想します。聖職者の感情は恋愛ではなく、支配的一方的な欲情だけなのでしょうか？
@@user-mf8ip4ut6r в монашеской традиции выделяют 5 стадий развития помысла. Тут показана классическая ошибка, если начинаешь думать об объекте вожделения более 2 минут. Человека потом лихорадит неделю, мучают вот такие сны. Я смотрю, очень точно передано состояние, но не показано, что если человек преодалевает во сне похоть, то дальше открываются знания и ключи к подсознанию.
muy mala la musica, offshore
how many K's in DREK?
Can someone please explain to me what exact trick they did with mirrors for the head splitting effect? Thank you.
It's actually a superposition of two plans. It's the exact same trick in photography ( "collage" in french) like Picasso, Max Ernst or Hannah Höch used to do.
Probably not mirrors?
Just a left-right masked double-exposure, rolling the tripod-head?
Surrealism is not for me
Absurdism...get it right.
Gol
al oir de esta pelicula pense en encobtrarme escenas sexuales explicitas, gracias a dios eso no aparecio, pero el minuto 21:27 me recuerda a la forma en al que mi ex novio corria, mas o menos el tiene la misma cara, ahora ya no, decidio operarse la cara, ahora se parece a calamardo operado, un gran señor y rey del subrealismo, muy buena pelicula sobre el vampirismo y que refla la sociedad de la epoca, gracias a M.A. por hacerme disfrutar de esta maravilla
SUBLIME SUBLIME
I love the score.
17:02

David Lynch's first film.
everyone in this movie has died and become ghosts 👻
It's not the full movie, is?
Yep.
Dafuq is this?
The music is annoying and detracts from the film
I love gay women filmmaking
"the first surrealist film" lol
16:10 Has the perfect face for a meme ja
Frankly, unwatchable...and I’ve seen lots of ‘art’ films...
That's seems hyperbolic
It looks like a farside 1920's movie 🤪
Germaine Dulac: directed by a man with a female body.
or a talented, hardworking woman?
You sure?
