Entr'acte is an early surrealistic effort based on an idea from painter Frances Picabia. After a man is killed, his coffin takes on a life of its own. After a long surrealistic chase, he climbs out of his coffin and makes everyone that was chasing his coffin disappear. La coquille et le clergyman (Seashell and the clergyman) is all about an obsessed clergyman with a general's wife who has a strange visions of death and lust, while struggling against his own eroticism. Ballet mecanique is an experimental film containing a mintage of images and rhythms that create a hallucinaory effect featuring the original soundtrack. Anemic cinema is an abstract and maybe nihillistic short film containing spiral forms merging into a rotating disc that's labeled with different messages. DVD English/French title. Silent films.
