Summary: A pulsing, kaleidoscope of images set to an energetic soundtrack. A young women swings in a garden; a woman's face smiles. The rest is spinning cylinders, pistons, gears and turbines, kitchen objects in concentric circles or rows - pots, pan lids, and funnels, cars passing overhead, a spinning carnival ride. Over and over, a heavy-set woman climbs stairs carrying a large bag on her shoulder. An Art Deco cartoon figure appears, dancing. (imdb)

Too long for its concept, but an interesting enough tribute to mechanical motion.

Although it occasionally hints at something beautiful, its experimental techniques really fail to deliver on any level.

Fernand Léger was a painter, and a father of Cubism. It was this he wanted to explore in moving images.

Kaleidoscope, mirror image and convex lens experiments are interesting, but rest is too much out of phase.

Modernism at its most pretentious, least expressive. It is the first abstract film, which is worth something, but it's also the first bad abstract film.

Creative and energetic, but it doesn't do a good job of using that energy to engage the audience.

A violent short, were the camera attacks the mise-en-scène (or visa versa). The pace is aggressive, energetic, and the film feels like a pissed warning, a "fuck you" to the machine age/materialism; hurried images of machines, cars, vine, nylon stockings and other "modern" stuff contrasted with calm images of a woman smelling on flowers speak out. A film yelling in your ear/eyes. Pretty good shit.

Dynamic enough to hold my interest, and somewhat clever in parts, but it didn't really elicit any reaction from me.
