Return To Reason

France 1923 | 70 minutes | French | English subtitles

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Man Ray’s first film in 1923, RETURN TO REASON is the first 4K restoration of Man Ray’s four surrealist and dreamlike short films, now accompanied by an exclusive soundtrack composed and performed by filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and musician Carter Logan’s band SQÜRL. RETURN TO REASON dives into Man Ray’s surrealist and dreamlike world. “We feel very proud to be Man Ray’s backup band. I think ultimately what we’re trying to do, and what Man Ray did, was create a sort of ecstatic state. A place that exists in a little space between consciousness and unconsciousness, between dream and wakefulness, and between reality and the surreal world” (Jim Jarmush). Just relax and have a shot of sonic.
