Entr'acte (1924)
8/10
Dadaism style
25 February 2019
René Clair and Erik Satie jump near a cannon which is aimed at the spectator and fires a cannon shot. Followed by images from all angles, of all framing cuts juxtaposed in Dadaist style, so with the rejection of a logic. The superimposition of eyes on the sea in an inverse image to reality stands out. Against all expectations, the participants in a funeral procession begin to jump behind a camel-driven hearse. The cart comes off and everyone tries to chase him until the coffin falls to the ground, the dead comes out and makes the coffin disappear with the magic wand and all vanish, taking up some tricks of Meliès. René Clair passes through the sign of the end, falls to the ground, receives a kick and returns back.
