Overview
Dulacโs three 1929 "abstract" films, Record 957, ฮrabesques, and Themes and Variations, were the results of a long period of reflection by the filmmaker, who sought to create a "pure" or "integral" cinema that would capture the essence of the new medium and owe nothing to the other arts. Each of these three studies was designed to be played silent. The first one, Record 957, is conceived of as a "visual impression [โฆ] in listening to Frรฉdรฉric Chopin's Preludes n. 5 and 6." Its title and its opening shot of lightplay on a spinning record not only announce the film's dominant cyclical motif, but also evoke one of the filmmakerโs major sources of inspiration in Loie Fuller's serpentine dances.
