Marcel Duchamp and John Cage

1972 · 28 min

In elegiac work, Kubota explores the relationship between two of the most influential figures in 20th century art and music. The core images are Kubota's own photographs of the famous 1968 chess match between Marcel Duchamp and John Cage, in which the board, wired for sound, functioned as a musical instrument. Recordings of Cage's compositions accompany the stills and video footage, which Kubota electronically processes to abstraction.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Marcel Duchamp and John Cage is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1972. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
