Stop-motion photography blends with extreme slow-motion in Clair's first and most 'dada' film, composed of a series of zany, interconnected scenes. We witness a rooftop chess match between Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, a hearse pulled by a camel (and chased by its pallbearers) and a dizzying roller coaster finale. A film of contradictions and agreements.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delirious kaleidoscope of surrealist pranks and impossible logic, where a chess match on a rooftop leads inevitably to a camel-drawn hearse and weightless chaos. It's like watching someone's fever dream translated into pure visual comedy.
