COTILLION

Directed by Joseph Cornell, Larry Jordan
United States, 1938
Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

Cornell combines Vaudeville jugglers, animal acts, circus performers, children eating and dancing, science demonstrations, mythical excerpts, and crucial freeze-frames of faces into a timeless structure, totally unconcerned with our usual expectations of “montage” or cinematic progression.
