The poetry of the city

Inspired by René Clair’s Entr’acte and The Crazy Ray — both part of this year’s baccalaureate film study syllabus: portraits of cities steeped in reverie, where time bends out of shape and unsettles the status quo. The frantic pace of the ultramodern city, a dreamlike journey or a stroll in which we lose our bearings; the city of our dreams is also a setting to rebel and reinvent ourselves.
