Info

An old phonograph assembles itself, plays songs on wax drums before self destructing. In many ways The Phonograph is a companion piece to Renaissance, there is nevertheless something quietly affecting about Borowczyk’s final ‘object’ animation.

The Phonograph Audience Reviews

GazerRise Fantastic!
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
morrison-dylan-fan Taking part in a best of 1969 films poll on ICM,I decided to check Arrows collection of shots by auteur Walerian Borowczyk. Finding a lone short from the year,I got set to turn the phonograph.View on the film:Putting the phonograph together with parts flying in the air, Walerian Borowczyk gives his animation a surrealist quality. Whilst the tracks played are sadly not subtitled, (and details of the girl in the photo sadly being something I can't find) Borowczyk does very well at making them flow with the building of the phonograph.
Michael_Elliott Le phonographe (1969) ** 1/2 (out of 4) This is a mildly entertaining short from director Walerian Boroczyk that shows us the various parts of a phonograph. The film cuts between the various parts of a phonograph while at the same time showing us a portrait hanging on the wall. All of this is done for six-minutes as the music score plays. LE PHONOGRAPHE isn't the greatest film ever made but it's at least mildly entertaining as long as you're not expecting the work of Shakespeare. The film manages to remain entertaining throughout its six-minute running time even though there's really not too much of a plot. We basically just see the various aspects of the machine and it all leads up to an effect with the picture. Nothing ground-breaking but the fans of the director should enjoy it.
