men in top hats skipping in slow motion = the best

Not as fun or as interesting as other pieces of Dada cinema I have witnessed

While it's not storytelling at it's most gripping, this is experimental film making at it's most playful, something every cinephile should wholeheartedly support. Watch here: http://www.ubu.com/film/clair_entracte.html

Fun surrealism, which is the best kind of surrealism.

"A short chaotic montage of strange images in the vein of Chien Andalou only more absurd than shocking. A dancing cannon and leaping people, a view of a bearded ballerina from below her skirt, chess in the rain, super-impositions, a funeral led by a camel and leaping people followed by a frantic chase after the coffin, and more. In your face Dada art."

Well, that was just absurd and hilarious. Maybe Dadaism and surrealism works best when it's in the pursuit of fun. Great music and great conclusion.

The music did my head in. The images were nice though, kinda fun.

Don't mess with people in coffins!

Stupid fun.

A pretty fun surrealist film.

It was nice to watch some fun Surrealism again after those ponderous Maya Deren films. This film is pure nonsense, yet it's full of great imagery and paced like a regular movie, which makes it very engrossing. Great music, too, and it gets wonderfully seizure-enducing at the end.

A classic of Dada filmmaking, with a screenplay by Francis Picabia, beautiful music by Erik Satie and a cast including such giants as Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and Darius Milhaud. And they're chasing a coffin (you heared it).

With one of first minimalist musicians Eric Satie, this short has tremendous visual exploration. Meaningless, but aesthatically justified events happen one after another. Slo-mo human motion, sunlight-burnt visual explorations that resembles videoart, a film band twisted with every prehistorical technique of cinema. Hilarious and fun.

Oooohh...I'm an artist. Love me.

A fun surrealist short but I wouldn't recommend it as a movie itself. Treat it as a music video for Satie's great composition, it will work better this way.
