Entr'acte (1924) ****

Directed by René Clair. Francis Picabia wrote the script of this surrealistic film - a prime example of the French avant-garde movement of 1920's. The begining is slow (most memorable are low-angle shots of a ballerina's legs), but the film concludes with a wild chase inspired by Mack Sennett.
