| User ReviewAlice SImages are dancing hallucinatory, the word 'dancer' appears at a time and in the end a torso executes graceful rotation movements in the light. So, I assume that there is a theme. But the film is a technical experiment and there might as well be none. In any case, it is so short that it would take less time to watch it than to read the review. And then you can draw your own conclusion. |
| User ReviewJohannes R24.1.2011 An influential piece of avant-garde cinema. Light, objects and their shapes, the very texture of a cinematic image is in the focus. Chaos and finally sexuality. It's an experimentation: Man Ray uses rayograph for the first time in his movies. |
| User ReviewTravis JOnce again, I must correct Flixster. There are no "Dadaist" films, there are Dada films. |
| User ReviewJulien BCa doit être la dixième fois que je le revois, et mon interprétation continue de différer. De la folie psychanalytique(sic) pure. 4. |
| User ReviewZoran SI can't say I cared for this much. It's not as formally interesting as some other Dada experiments. Also, I like how Man Ray wasn't above using pointless nudity. |
| User ReviewErnest HA somewhat fascinating experimental film that was very confusing. |
