Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This features a number of directors better known as painters (Fernand Leger, Marcel Duchamp) or photographers (Man Ray). For the curious, there is a short Orson Welles film from 1934, fully seven years before Citizen Kane. "The Life and Death of 9413, A Hollywood Extra" is on the Library of Congress's National Film Registry of significant American films, as is "H²O". Ménilmontant, at 37 minutes the longest film in this collection, is considered a masterpiece by some. Worth exploring, if you like this sort of stuff. You know who you are. --- It drives me nuts that Amazon doesn't include the bare-bones information about the films in this sort of collection, so I will: Le Retour à la raison (The Return to Reason) Directed by Man Ray France 1923 2 Min.
