What Is Entr’acte About?
The premise of Entr’acte without spoilers.
Using stop‑motion photography combined with extreme slow‑motion, Clair’s debut Dada‑infused film strings together a series of wildly inventive, interconnected vignettes. It features a rooftop chess duel between Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, a hearse drawn by a camel pursued by its pallbearers, and culminates in a vertiginous roller‑coaster finale, presenting a playful clash of contradictions and agreements.
