Man Ray conta, in Self-portrait, that the idea of the film occurred to him during an evening with Robert Desnos. "At the end of the meal, he started talking a lot and reciting poems by Victor Hugo and some other poets who were not much admired by the Surrealists. So, He took out a crumpled sheet: It was a poem he had written that day. He read it in her clear voice and well-modulated, giving it a sense that one would not have to read it in a book quietly. […] The poem Desnos resembled a scene from a movie, compound 15 or 20 verses, each of which presenting a clear picture, featured, a place or a man and a woman. No dramatic action, but all the elements for a possible action. O poema is chamava "The Starfish", The Star of the Sea. […] My imagination had been stimulated by the wine during our dinner, but the poem moved me enough. I clearly visualized as a movie - a surreal movie ". Man Ray plays the film in a few weeks.

Man Ray tells how the idea of the end of the film occurred to him: "A visit from my friend Jacques Rigaut, the dandy of the given, the personable what could have been a movie star if I had desired, He gave me the idea of how complete it. He was, as always, impeccably dressed, as his well-cut clothes, Homburg hat dark, starched collar and tie with a discreet pattern. I sent my assistant Boiffard buy a dozen white stiff collars, to put in a small briefcase. […] in the studio, made a close-up of hands Rigaut opening the briefcase, picking up the collars one on one, cutting them in two and throwing them on the floor. (After, I did a reverse impression of falling collars, that seemed to be rising). I asked Rigaut who would build up the outside of his collar, showing the tie around your neck. He looked even better dressed than before, more formal. With this, their participation ended. After he left, I filmed some scenes with torn collars rolling, reflected in the deformed mirrors; They did cartwheels and dancing rhythmically ".

Man Ray conta that, one day, Tristan Tzara came to him to ask him to do for the next day a movie to be displayed in a Dada session would happen in the theater Le Coeur à Barbe. At first, Man Ray did not accept, They are saying that until then had only done a few fragments of no interest, but insisted Tzara and even suggested that utilizes the technique of rayografia. Man Ray reports long after, in Self-portrait, how did this film: "I bought a roll of film of thirty meters, I went to my darkroom and cut into short pieces, pinning them on my desk. In some pieces, sprinkled salt and pepper, as a cook preparing your roast, other I played at random pins and tacks; then I turned on the white light for a second or two, as I had done with my rayografias. […] then, only grudei the pieces, adding some scenes done before with my camera to extend the projection […]. I got to the theater a few minutes before the curtains were hanging; I gave my film to Tzara and told him he had to present it, because there was no titles, not the legendary ".
As always, this amusing story tends to cause the Man Ray's work is considered something trivial. Now, nothing is fortuitous in this lively composition, alternating abstraction and figuration in a sustained rate. Man Ray also reports that saw the film for the first time during his projection at Le Coeur à Barbe: "The film looked like a snowstorm, with flakes flying in all directions, rather than fall, until suddenly it became a field of daisies, as if the snow had crystallized flowers. This was followed by another scene of many crisscrossing pins and a revolving epileptic dance, and again a solitary tack desperately trying to get out of the screen. […] The next image was of a striped torso by light. […] so the spiral and egg pack began to turn on the screen […], the film broke ", sparking a riot in the theater. Typically a leading film, The return to reason remains current, when you take into account what Tristan Tzara said about you: "It was time to do something about the many stupidities that were seen on the screens".
