Magritte puts the "real" in surreal by enabling the viewer to see the world as the Belgian artist painted it. The filmmakers combine footage of places the artist lived (and was inspired by) with a black-and-white archival interview with Magritte and scenes from home-movie "films" the artist made for his own enjoyment. The production strikes a nice balance between well-chosen biographical details and silence, at which time the dreamlike art is definitely allowed to speak for itself to the accompaniment of a fine soundtrack. "I want to breathe new light into ordinary things around us," Magritte says. While showing how the artist's life influenced his work, the makers of Magritte shed new light on the extraordinary. --Valerie J. Nelson

Customer Reviews of Magritte
A genius with Dreams of voluntary nature This Dvd starts with the prologue: "These dreams are of voluntary nature very different from those
we have when we are sleeping... escaping into a sleep".
Magritte has the simple means of a genius and he achieves a very powerful impact on our imagination
with ideas that appear so simple.
He says that the painting itself is not important but what matters is the effect it makes on our mind.
Magritte asks questions through his painting . We can take nothing as obvious.
Every thing is subject for questioning.
