I did not expect such a low rating for this nice little work of art. I've seen many films with ratings below 6/10, and Bagatelle is definitely much better than that.
I'm not pretentious enough to claim that I fully understand the film, but I am amazed by the cinematography and the dreamy, abstract imagery. Also, this is not the hardcore type of surrealism of Jean Cocteau. It is indeed very cute, and I can see it as a very accessible surreal short for the audience.
