3 | ''Entr'acte'' is a 1924 French short film directed by Creator/ReneClair. |
4 | |
5 | It was originally intended to play during, literally, the ''entr'acte'' (that is to say, the {{Intermission}}) of a ballet performance. The ballet in question was called ''Relâche'', [[TrollingCreator a French word normally used to indicate that a theatrical performance has been cancelled]]. The ballet was written by Music/ErikSatie, who also wrote the music for the film. |

7 | Like the ballet it was created for, ''Entr'acte'' was part of the {{UsefulNotes/Dada}} movement. As such, it doesn't exactly have a plot. Amongst all the unrelated surrealistic images, the most sensical storyline that can be picked out involves a man who shoots an [[BuffySpeak egg thing]] and falls off a building, which is then followed by his strange funeral. |
