Fernand Léger succumbs to the fascination for manufactured objects and participates in the ghost of a technical Eden in which harmony between man and machine reigns. In the beginning of the 20th century, "the beautiful is everywhere" and so-called modern art attempts to rival the technology of aviation. With the realisation of the first film without a script, he laments: "pictorial error is the theme, the error in cinema is the script".
