I would like to reply to the reviewer who took badly my comment that the film was good for "historians and students."
I wouldn't have sought out the film, restored it, added music and posted it if I did not like it.
But I still believe that if you sat 100 average people down to see it, 95 of them would leave before it finished.

I agree with the previous reviewer. This is a really good film, entertaining and an allegory of the human condition (most people are asleep). Well directed with a profound understanding of the art of film. I would give it 5 stars, except for the fact the film is somewhat deteriorated, blurry and a strain on the eyes. However there don't seem to be any missing frames or bad splices.

To describe this film as having "a few humorous moments but is if interest mainly to film historians and students" is a real shame. The official description should be re-written by someone who knows what they're doing.

This is a fun, surreal, cinematically inventive film. It's about "time," alterations and manipulations of time, breaking free from the constraints of time. It's about questioning reality and "modern" society. It is a clever and experimental little film.

Also, almost 90 years after it was made, it is poignant and beautiful to see (a representation of) how people lived in 1920s Paris.
