Obviously 'arty' in nature, it still tries for new ways to frame ideas. For that it is to be commended. Better go see it for yourself. Go to Full Review

01/07/2018 Hans Richter's experimental film is a veritable who-who of the avant-garde community in the 1940's; even torch singer Libby Holman is heard on the soundtrack singing "The Girl With The Pre-Fabricated Heart." Historically important. See more 05/25/2012 This would probably get slammed nowadays, but the for the time it was produced it is a surrealist masterpiece that certainly needs to be watched more than once to make any sense of it. See more 07/25/2011 Ahead of its time in almost every way. This super surreal, experimental collage is a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of Dada wonderfulness. And the music is fantastic!

See more 02/08/2010 Love it or hate it stuff..A litle corny looking now but I bet it influenced the right people..I didn't even bother me that the sound was obviously post production.Although the DVD has a good alternative soundtrack I guess See more 09/07/2009 When eminent figures of the avant-garde (i can start name-dropping here: hans richter, duchamp, ernst, leger, ray, calder, music by john cage & darius milhaud collaborate into a super-team) try to make a film with a wider appeal, unfortunately, the personalities are more impressive than the film. the desired effect is somehow diluted by its popular ambitions.
