After watching the superb Krimi flick The Terrible People (1960-also reviewed) I decided to end the viewings of the night with a short. Checking the French films from 1929 waiting to get viewed,I got set to visit Montparnasse.
View on the film:
Released the same year as his landmark Un Chien Andalou (1929-also reviewed) came out, Luis Bunuel's cameo here brings a touch of the 4th wall being broken quality to director Eugene Deslaw highly stylised criss-crossing surrealist whip-pans down the streets of the district.
Weaving the camera into the bohemian houses, director Eugene Deslaw dissolves surreal Avant-Garde colleges one on top of the other across long pans of various artistic styles, (from making dolls to painting) taking place on the streets of Montparnasse.
