So Surreal: Behind the Masks (2024): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2024, So Surreal: Behind the Masks is a documental film directed by Joanne Robertson, running about 88 minutes.

What it’s about. A feature documentary that traces the storied journey of Indigenous masks from the far reaches of Turtle Island into the hands of European Surrealists, influencing the work and worldview of artists and writers like Max Ernst, André Breton, Roberto Matta and Joan Miró – all while following the dramatic quest to return a mask that was brutally stolen from the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw people on Canada’s northwest coast over a century ago. Part caper, part road trip, part spiritual journey, the film follows Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond (Reel Injun) as he travels coast-to-coast and across the Atlantic and back, gradually piecing together this global story of influence, reconnection and restitution.

How it landed. With an audience score of 8.0/10, So Surreal: Behind the Masks sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
