Review of The Starfish (1928) by Martin T — 22 Jul 2008
Man Ray shoots through distorted glass to create an interesting impressionistic, almost mosaic effect. There's kind of a narrative here, but still pretty well-seated in surrealism. I didn't care for the snatches of poetry, even though that's what inspired the film.
Scenes of newspaper dancing in the wind pre-dates American Beauty by some 70 years.
