Max Ernst: Journey into the Subconscious (1964)

Original title: Max Ernst - Entdeckungsfahrten ins Unbewußte

The inner world of the great painter Max Ernst is the subject of this film. One of the principal founders of Surrealism, Max Ernst explores the nature of materials and the emotional significance of shapes to combine with his collages and netherworld canvases. The director and Ernst together use the film creatively as a medium to explain the artist's own development.
