Poison
1935 Short

Review
In a short film lasting just over three minutes, the great surrealist artist Man Ray makes
a wry comment on that curious habit of human beings to wreck their health with alcohol
and cigarettes. The images in the film are unsurprising, just the ordinary everyday
sight of a couple have a relaxing smoke and a drink. The only give away as to the
film’s meaning lies in its enigmatic title: poison.
