The Ten Commandments
1923. USA. Directed by Cecil B. DeMille. In "Surrealism in Hollywood," Dalí asserts that DeMille is a Surrealist due to the "sadism and fantasy" he employs in his films. Dalí admired the techniques Hollywood artists used to create the appearance of decay and antiquity on production sets; following his Hollywood visit, he created several paintings that incorporate images of decomposition and ancient history. Print courtesy George Eastman House, preserved with funds provided by The Film Foundation. Silent. 159 min.
