Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

   Philippe Soupault, André Breton's collaborator in the creation of Surrealism, said that he believed that cinema could present great possibilities for expressing, transfiguring and making dreams come true.

   In general, surrealist films tried - and succeeded - to dreamily explore the human subconscious. For this, the most confused scenes in the history of cinema were created, like a ballerina who turns into a bearded man and a hearse that travels along the tracks of a roller coaster in the film “Entreato”, of 1924, directed by René Clair. Consecrated artists of Dadaism appear in the film, like Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp.

Answer 2
