Which term best describes the following movement? Young French writers and poets in Paris sparked this movement in 1924. They sought the 'more real than real world behind the real'—the world of intuition, dreams, and the unconscious realm explored by Freud. They believed humanity could be freed from social and moral conventions. In his 1924 manifesto, the movement's founder imbued the world with all the magic of dreams, the spirit of rebellion, and the mysteries of the subconscious.
