[edit] Information

Recently repeated as a tribute to George Melly, a classic Arena documentary, made in 1978.

George Melly takes a wayward day trip to the the Hayward Gallery and a major show of pictures from the days of Dada and Surrealism. His indirect journey, inspired by the Surrealist dérive, takes him through rooms, streets, a strange café, with brief curious encounters on the way. Among them, the last of the surrealists in England (Eileen Agar, Conroy Maddox, Robert Melville and Roland Penrose), punk rock band The Stranglers, and an elephant. Melly intersperses the journey with memories of Salvador Dalí, René Magritte and E.L.T. Mesens, talking about the influence of Dada and Surrealism on his early life.
