How it feels
A man and a woman act out scenes based on a poem by Robert Desnos. The footage is shot out of focus, giving the film a hazy and dreamlike quality. Desnos himself appears in the final scene.

What happens
L'Étoile de mer (English: The Starfish) is a 1928 film directed by Man Ray and based on a short poem and longer scenario, both written by Robert Desnos. The film depicts a couple (played by Alice Prin, a.k.a. "Kiki", and André de la Rivière) acting through scenes that are shot out of focus, and with Desnos himself as the second man in the final scene. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
