A natural montage

Etude cinegrapique sur une arabesque (1929)

Directed by Germaine Dulac this film also known as “Arabesque” is an experimental short film. We see a montage of black and white images from various different natural sources.

While this is an enjoyable montage I never picked up any clear rhythm or meaning to the editing of the film. The images are certainly interesting but this is another experimental film that kept me at arms length.


3/5
