Return to Reason
Directed by Man Ray
A radical, abstract Dadaist experiment that prioritizes visual sensation and conceptual provocation over narrative or emotional connection.
Experimental film, white specks and shapes gyrating over a black background, the light-striped torso of Kiki of Montparnasse (Alice Prin), a gyrating eggcrate. One of the first Dadaist films.
