Povratak razumu - Filmovi | Art-kino Croatia

Više djelo eksperimentalnog dadaizma nego film, Povratak razumu bio je prvo filmsko djelo proslavljenog nadrealističkog umjetnika Mana Raya. Rođeni Amerikanac, Ray je film snimio ubrzo nakon što se ranih 20-ih preselio u Pariz i osnovao dadaistički pokret. Početni dijelovi ilustriraju tehniku koju je Man Ray uveo u statičnu fotografiju — rejografiju. Tu je objekt smješten između izvora svjetla i fotosenzibilnog filma, za razliku od tradicionalne fotografije, u kojoj fotografski film hvata svjetlo koje se odbija od objekta. U filmu je nastojao proširiti rejografsku tehniku na pokretnu sliku. Po jednom je dijelu filma (negativa) prosuo sol i papar, po drugom pribadače, osvijetlio je film na nekoliko sekundi, a zatim ga razvio. Za posljednje je sekunde filma snimio nekoliko slika golog torza svojega modela Kiki de Montparnasse, osvijetljene prugastim svjetlom. Film je prvi put bio prikazan na priredbi Bradato srce Tristana Tzare u kazalištu Michel, 6. srpnja 1923. godine. Publika ga je loše primila, djelomično zato što je tijekom projekcije film dva puta puknuo.

More a work in experimental Dadaism than a film, Le Retour à la raison was the first film to be made by the celebrated surrealist artist, Man Ray. The American-born artist made the film soon after he moved to Paris in the early 1920s to found the Dada movement. The early segments of the film illustrate a technique which Man Ray pioneered in static photography, the rayograph. Here, an object is placed between a light source and photosensitive film, in contrast to traditional photography where photographic film captures light reflected off an object. For Le Retour à la raison Man Ray sought to extend the rayograph technique to a moving image. He sprinkled salt and pepper on one piece of film, pins on another, illuminated the film for a few seconds, and then developed the film. For the final few seconds of the film, Man Ray shot some images of the nude torso of his model, Kiki of Montparnasse, illuminated in striped light. The film was first shown at the Cœur à Barbe evening at the Theater Michel in July 6^th 1923. It was ill-received by the audience, partly because the film broke twice during its projection.
