Plot
A short film made as an interlude for a Dadaist ballet, with a surreal funeral procession pulled by a camel. Music by Erik Satie.
Sinekatalog’s take
René Clair's Dadaist short, made for a ballet interlude, offers a surreal funeral pulled by a camel. Playful, chaotic and visually daring, with Satie's music and cameos by Duchamp and Man Ray, it is a landmark of avant-garde film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
