In Jeux de reflets et de la vitesse Henri Chomette starts with geometric forms in motion, then an almost seamless transition takes us into the Paris metro, traveling through tunnels and up through town, suddenly changing perspective to the Seine and then back again into the metro train. The film gives a fast paced modernist view of Paris at that time, combining it with an imaginary space still to be realized. Henri Chomette coined the term ‘Cinéma Pur’ to define a cinema that focuses on the pure elements of film like form, light, motion, visual composition, and rhythm.
