Definition
超现实主义 is a loanword from Japanese/English referring to the early 20th-century avant-garde movement in art, literature, and film that sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind. You'll encounter it when discussing art history, literature, or film criticism — it describes works that juxtapose unexpected elements in dreamlike or irrational scenes.
