Synopsis

“In this film the eye habit received quite a blow. My actors were a straw hat, shoes, bottles, bicycles, artificial limbs, faces, eyes, machines, lots of tricks and finally, a washerwoman. Mechanical Ballet is an experiment with the value of an object as an object. It is an anti-romantic work.” (Fernand Léger)
