A series of zany, disconnected scenes including a chess match between Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, a dizzying roller coaster sequence and a hearse pulled by a camel.

It has certain aesthetic findings that manifest themselves in the frame with Clair's unique Dadaist vision, but, unfortunately, on the surface it is just a pretentious exercise of an experimental nature. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

11/08/2015 Dadaism, Avant Gard, Anarchism. Rene Clair, accompanied by Francis Picabia, Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp, experiments with the cinematic medium. Absurd, unrational, disunited. No logic and no meaning. Besides according to their manifesto dada doesn't mean anything. See more 05/12/2013 The film itself was conceived as something to be shown in an intermission between other films. It clearly was never meant to be taken too seriously, and it's quite obvious that it was made in a way that allowed some of the leading proponents of the Dada/Surrealist movement to have fun and go for laughs. Surrealism was often an art-form with a sense of humour in any case, as anyone familiar with Salvador Dali's work could attest. Like most art films from the 20's Entr'acte has aged remarkably well and like others displays a sensibility that would be replicated many decades later in avant-garde cinema of the 60's and pop videos of the 80's and beyond. All-in-all a fun film to see. See more 11/16/2012 Geniale! Film dadaista nelquale si susseguono in vortice immagini artisiche e suggestive spesso spiazzanti. Entr'acte' sta al cinema dadaista come Un Chien Andalou sta al cinema surreale. Indovinato l'accompagnamento musicale. See more 08/28/2012 Surrealist classic, featuring a hilarious scene of a funeral procession going completely Dada. See more 12/05/2011 Delightful short dadaist film from René Clair. A description would be impossible! See more 09/16/2010 This is a cool old movie, check it out, it's short, and you can probably find it online too. See more Read all reviews
