Anémic cinéma (1926) Anemic Cinema [English subtitles]

www.imdb.com/ti...
Director: Marcel Duchamp
Production Company: Duchamp
Country: France
* The final intertitle "L’aspirant habite Javel et moi j’avais l’habite en spirale" the sentence plays on similarity between "j'avais l'habite" (which is no proper French) and "j'avais la bite" (I had the cock). Javel is a neighborhood in Paris.
"The title “Anémic Cinéma” is a palindrome and anagram of sorts, reflecting the cyclical nature of the piece itself and the nonsensical disposition of the French phrases included in the work. The title, therefore, acts as a well balanced summary of the work, one that relies on repetition and language."
