Although better known as an artist and photographer, Man Ray was one of the key figures in the cinematic avant-garde of the early 20th century. This is a systematic study of his four films – Le Retour à la raison (1923), Emak Bakia (1926), L’Etoile de mer (1928) and Les Mystères du Chateau du Dé (1929) – and his ‘home movies’ featuring friends and lovers. Slightly off-mint.
