A ballet of some type


Ballet Mecanique (1924)

Directed by Dudley Murphy and star Fernand Leger this film also features Kiki of Montparnasse. We see a bunch of weird images, shapes and people set to music.

I like the way that this short is edited to it's score but otherwise this is a bit too abstract for my taste. To my eye there does not appear to be a lot of context or connection between the images. One for those more into experimental cinema.

3/5
