Few artists can boast having changed the course of art history in the way that Marcel Duchamp did. By challenging the very notion of what is art, his first readymades sent shock waves across the art world that can still be felt today. Duchamp's ongoing preoccupation with the mechanisms of desire and human sexuality as well as his fondness for wordplay aligns his work with that of Surrealists, although he steadfastly refused to be affiliated with any specific artistic movement per se. In his insistence that art should be driven by ideas above all, Duchamp is generally considered to be the father of Conceptual art. Throughout the film, we see the development of his genius, and how he burst in each chapter of its manifestations. 

Directed by Fabrice Maze, this film is a great reference for those who want to rediscover Marcel Duchamp. With subtlety and infinite sensitivity, Fabrice Maze presents Duchamp in a new light. He dismisses the image of the intellectual as cold, rigid, and individualistic to show us a man of great simplicity and sensitivity, veiled by modesty, a man who made his life a work of art. The film also features unreleased interviews with Monique Fong, Jean-Jacques Lebel, and Arturo Schwarz Jean-Marie Drot (to whom we owe “Chess” a filmed interview with Marcel Duchamp) recounting their meeting with Duchamp and moments that remained unforgettable.
