Anémic cinéma

Description

Thought provoking and offensive are possible ways to interpret the ten optical discs and corresponding puns displayed in the film. The word play of French syllogisms gleefully collides with the protruding-receding optical illusions of the rotating spheres. Julien Levy called the film Spirals and screened it repeatedly at his gallery during the 1930s. 35mm 1.33:1 black & white silent 20fps, production assistance Man Ray, Marc Allégret; new music by Gustavo Matamoros; preserved by Det Danske Filminstitut.
