Poison

Man Ray / France / 1933 / Czech Premiere / 3 min.


synopsis

Swiss artist, painter, writer, and photographer Elisabeth Meret Oppenheim encounters Man Ray in this short film. There is no direction here, we see only insignificant movements – lighting a cigarette, or drinking from a glass. This is the middle of the director’s surrealist period, when his films were successfully presented alongside Un Chien Andalou, Entr’acte, and La Coquille et le Clergyman. In 1933 he made a film about the artist Constantine Brâncuşi that unfortunately was not preserved.
