C'est interessant, mais un peu ennuyant, je crois.

The music sounds like this Jerry Garcia music I have ("Zabriskie Point" soundtrack), but I know it isn't.

But the visuals started to make me dizzy, so I just closed my eyes and listened.

[bossplw]

I would really like to know who wrote this song..

[ateternitysgate]

don't know what that song is or who wrote it, but i like it a lot. :)

[Anjuleus]

There it is folks, not that it is going to make much sense anyway. The music choice isn't bad at all, if you have watched a lot of silent films, you would know all of them have either a simplistic instrumental or a great orchestration to set the mood of the film and is just as important as the film itself. A perfect example is the 1927 german silent film "Metropolis" or 1922 film "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" Maybe those who want to complain should study up next time

Translation:

Baths of big tea for grains of beauty without surplus of bengué.

The child who suckles a prompter of hot flesh is and does not like the cauliflower of hothouse.

If I give you a penny, will give me you a pair of scissors.

They ask for domestic mosquitoes (half supply) for the remedy of nitrogen on the quotation of azure.

Incest or passion of family, in too much drawn blows.

Have déja you put the moëlle of the sword in the stove of the liking?

Among our articles of lazy hardware store, we recommend the tap which stops to run when they do not listen to it.

The aspirant lives javel and me I had live in it in spiral

Bains de gros thé pour grains de beauté sans trop de bengué.

L’enfant qui tète est un souffleur de chair chaude et n’aime pas le chou-fleur de serre chaude.

Si jet e donne un sou, me donneras tu une paire de ciseaux.

On demande des moustiques domestiques (demi-stock) pour la cure d’azote sur la cote d’azur.

Inceste ou passion de famille, à coups trop tirés.

Esquivons les ecchymoses des esquimaux aux mots exquis.

The music track you added to this video sounds like something I would expect to hear in a rock ballad from Blink 182 with Tom DeLonge's limited ass guitar skills. Other than that, I think the black and white give the images an interesting twist.

[Briavel1]

Would someone translate the french?...

[xxpolahxx]

But it is not subrealism, is dadaism. :/

[xxpolahxx]

But it is not subrealism... it's dadaism :/

[xxpolahxx]

But it is not Subrealism... is dadaism :/

[filmfurnace]

It's meditative, minus the expected irritating harmony.

[soniameziat]

excelent,! and great music

[sucker1317sfiga]

I just study Marcel Duchamp for school ^^

[Cantonaahh]

Hi, I would like to have seen an onion being peeled by a clown sitting on top of an enormous cigarette packet at some point in this film, but you can't have everything I suppose. I enjoyed it very much, anyway. Incidentally, if you enjoy watching hedgehogs juggling Lima beans, you may also enjoy a site called icrappoetry (.com). Best wishes!

[yayshe]

I saw this first in a surrealistic art exhibition in Helsinki. Though I don't understand French, this somehow takes me into a "surreal state"...

I find it pretty cool, that this film was made in 1926, now it's in Youtube and I downloaded it into my mp3 player. Progress...

[MrJDazz1230]

i must say that really really like the optical illusions created on this film.

[insertnamehere84]

if only i could read french

[yayshe]

@insertnamehere84

You're telling me...

[ebanbirds]

music sucks, nice video

[ARTSAVA]

Great ! 5 * * * * *

[ThePandems]

You should have played "Vincent Lopez & His Casa Lopez Orch." song "In The Middle Of The Night", it goes well with this film.

[DXkiet]

Marcel Duchamp was not the surrealistic director, he was belong to dadaism

[brikkostello]

un gioiello....grazie

[MASSIF101]

it's a very interesting film but i wouldn't call it surrealist. surrealist films subvert reality, hence the name - "su-real", this film doesn't present a reality as any human experience would define it, there is no environment, no characters and no plot development, if no relaity is created then you cannot subvert it and so this just isn't a surrealist film.

call it experimental or subversive, but not surrealist

[Zeanu]

@MASSIF101 Surrealism is what you make of it, silly person... it is an attitude.

[MASSIF101]

@Zeanu well everything is what you make of it, all art is an attitude. and after watching this again I might rethink whether or not there is no environment, the swirling depth of a vortex does create an abstract form of environment. But if we're going to use labels like surrealism, soviet montage or "mainstream" then we need to use them accurately, it's about the methodology behind the film, if filmmakers are actually trying to achieve something then they use a style that enables them to do that

[Zeanu]

@MASSIF101 This footage is pretty experimental yeah.

[somedaythewave]

@MASSIF101 it's dada. or at least that's how my film class defined it as.

[MASSIF101]

@somedaythewave yeah I'd go along with dada, it's got that whimsical freeform kind of spirit they were keen on.

[NoaSimhoni]

this is beautiful...

[speakerdark94]

does anybody knows what's the name of the song?

[potaluca]

It's called "90's Guitar Style - Part 68".

[craftiestcraftstress]

@potaluca its called scales on the guitar :)

[hotspade]

This is great. I always love the simplicity of means. The circle is such a perfect frame. Thanks for posting.

[metaberules1]

maybe if I was high, this would be cool. but this sucks

[squall1potter]

and it wasn't fucking surrealist

[squall1potter]

to be fair u talk a load of bollocks when people say its amazing, theres nothing special about it, and your either an idiot or very narrow minded if you think this is so 'amazing'

[DarrenMarkDarko]

I'm neither an idiot or narrow minded and I find this film truly amazing...remember that surrealism and art in general is subjective...you may dislike it but I find it totally intoxicating...the French are excellent of portraying the form! Awesome, 5-stars!

[tthenazz]

i hope you realize the irony in your comment. i'd hate for you to miss out.

[GrumpyOldDude90]

Just because you realize you have no capability of appreciation for higher levels of art than Transformers 2 doesn't mean you should be so insecure about it.

[RoulfYelrab]

Etes-vous sûr que ce soit le surréalisme? Je ne pense pas que je qualifierais de ce surréaliste. En tout cas, Monsieur Duchamp n'était pas essentiellement un surréaliste.

[PhotonDrive]

Amazing he got this so long before Beta feed-back "Dragon Spirals" of the '80's! This "Time-tunnel" seems to be periodically re-discovered by different means?

[Zippo27907]

this was the best use of spirals and eccenric shapes ive ever seen. and to think this film was made in the 20s, long before CG animation was even thought of. That was true artistry....

[theFINALones]

it is noted at the very end of the vid.

music composed and produced by Donald Sosin

[callieqt128]

Thanks for uploading, great video but music was unfitting crap.

Well, it wasn't BAD but it didn't fit at all to the surrealistic film.

[antiemo666777]

i think the guitar notes tricklin down the notes of my brain like a rain does a gutter it fits perfectly

i hope you know what music really consists of

[Markon1989]

what's the name of the background music?

This video is simply fantastic!

Thank you for uploading ;)

[gwengoad]

reminds me of The Time Tunnel 60's sci-fi show!

[Replayer101]

umm?
