Return to Reason

Year: 1923

Runtime: 3 mins

Director: Man Ray

Drama

An experimental Dadaist short that opens with white specks and geometric shapes tumbling across a stark black field, followed by the light‑striped torso of Kiki of Montparnasse (Alice Prin) and a constantly rotating egg‑crate lattice. The film’s abstract, kinetic imagery marks it as one of the earliest works in the Dada cinema movement. Its rhythmic montage of light and shadow anticipates later avant‑garde techniques, emphasizing motion over narrative.
