Films recommandés
⭐ 6.9Entr'acte
Un singe, des toits, des colonnades, une partie d'échec entre Marcel Duchamp et Man Ray, Picabia et Eric Satie utilisant un canon, une danseuse, un chasseur… Dans Entr'acte, le cinéaste René Clair met Paris sens dessus dessous au rythme de la musique d'Erik Satie.
⭐ 6.5Ballet Mécanique
Le film est un kaléidoscope d'images présentées sur une bande son énergique. Une jeune femme dans un jardin se balance sur une balançoire, une autre sourit. ... C'est un monde tout en mouvement, dominé par des images mécaniques et répétitives, avec seulement quelques moments de solitude dans un jardin.
⭐ 6.9L'Étoile de mer
Inspirée par un poème de Robert Desnos, une succession d'images oniriques.
⭐ 7.0Les moineaux
Une orpheline protège un groupe d’enfants abandonnés et séquestrés par un couple de fermiers prêts à tout pour en tirer le maximum de profit.
⭐ 6.6An Optical Poem
A dance of shapes. A title card tells us this is an experiment in conveying the mental images of music in a visual form. Liszt's "Second Hungarian Rhapsody" is the music. The shapes, all two-dimensional, are circles primarily, with some squares and rectangles, and a few triangles. The shapes move rhythmically to the music: receding from view or moving across the screen. Red circles on a blue background; light blue squares; white rectangles. Then, a red background of many circles with a few in the foreground. Red gives way to blue then to white. Shapes reappear as Liszt's themes re-occur. Then, with a few staccato notes and images, it's over.
⭐ 5.1Erotique
One can determine a line in Tscherkassky’s oeuvre which turns around a game with filmic presentation, with degrees of recognisability — with the only-just and the not-any-more. Just to see desire. An example of this is Erotique. One sees swirling pictures, parts of a woman’s face, red lips, eyes in cyclical fragments of movement. Often it is difficult to tell which part of the body one actually sees (whoever wants to can see/imagine/think sexual organs and sexual acts.) The gaze gets hung up on partial objects, no integral, whole body to think about. No body, whose representation was always one of the problems in cinema.
⭐ 6.4Montparnasse
Come take an avant-garde walk in the Montparnasse of the late 1920's. This district of Paris, filmed in a most unusual way, shows how dedicated it is to art. Visit its art galleries and exhibitions, take a glimpse of famous painter Fujita, of Luis Buñuel eyeing the legs of beautiful Parisian passing the terrace of the café where he sits, of Italian futurists Marinetti, Prampolini and Russolo.
⭐ 7.87362
7362 is concerned with dividing and joining together. It begins with two black circles against a white background, knocking together and gradually moving further apart. The circles fade out, and return as white circles against black inside a square. Images similar to Rorschach blots appear. Gradually the viewer realizes that the images were not originally abstract, but were human forms (dancers, gymnasts, etc.), bridges, and others that have been split down the center of the frame, with their mirror images printed on either side of the split. Red, green, and white tints further abstract the images from their original foundations in the natural world, making dancers appear to be amoebas or dividing cells. The accompanying sound track is a mixture of electronic music and musique concrète ("real" recorded sounds manipulated to sound abstract).
⭐ 7.4Un chien andalou
Tout commence sur un balcon où un homme aiguise un rasoir… La suite est une série de métamorphoses surréalistes. Un homme sectionne l’œil d'une jeune fille. Un nuage passe devant la lune. Huit ans après. Un cycliste tombe accidenté dans la rue. La jeune fille lui porte secours et l'embrasse…
⭐ 7.9La Corde
Deux étudiants en suppriment un troisième, pour la seule beauté du geste. Défi suprême, le meurtre précède de peu une soirée où ils reçoivent les parents de la victime et leur ancien professeur.
