Return to Reason


This is "Le Retour A La Raison" an experimental film from 1923. It features lots of interesting footage. Some of the film is abstract, simply showing shapes moving and changing. Other parts of the film feature footage of a carnival, however they are shot with such a closed aperture that the only recognizable thing is the lights. At the end there is footage of a nude woman in front of a mirror, which is then mirrored and shown in negative. The film is very experimental, but still very interesting and beautiful.
