THE MECHANICS OF LOVE

Directed by Willard Maas, Ben Moore
United States, 1955
Short, Drama, Avant-Garde

Synopsis

A film poem; a zither plays. A woman lies naked in bed. A man removes his clothes, joins her, and they kiss. Images fill the frame, at first still lifes of common objects: a door knob, glasses, a cactus, a lamp. Then simple actions: a drawer pulled out, a letter mailed.
