Duration:22 min
Country:France
Director:René Clair
Actors:Jean Börlin, Inge Frïss, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Francis Picabia
Production:Les Ballets Suedois

Overview:

Stop-motion photography blends with extreme slow-motion in Clair's first and most 'dada' film, composed of a series of zany, interconnected scenes. We witness a rooftop chess match between Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, a hearse pulled by a camel (and chased by its pallbearers) and a dizzying roller coaster finale. A film of contradictions and agreements.
