by Fernand LÉGER
& Dudley MURPHY
1924 / tinted b&w / sound / 1S / 18' 00 |
"Fernand Léger (and Dudley Murphy), in BALLET MÉCANIQUE, took a surprising step towards the discovery of the filmic object instead of the script, of naturalistic and dramatic action, the real and plastic form. They completely liberated the object from its rational, anecdotal and symbolic meaning, to build the film on the object's plastic value alone, without worrying about its current meaning." - Hans Richter
“The abstract film is an invigorating inquiry into the nature of cinema and visual perception in the guise of unfettered play. One of the first films to be acclaimed as avant-garde, BALLET MÉCANIQUE presents an exuberant, determinedly low-tech fantasia on the machine age—whirling pastry whisks, pumping pistons, and all.” - Susan Delson
