PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG MAN IN THREE MOVEMENTS

Directed by Henwar Rodakiewicz
United States, 1931
Avant-Garde

Synopsis

Title cards declare that what a person likes and his manner of liking them reveals character. There are long looks at forms and rhythms. The film begins and ends with the sea: the tide coming in, small breakers running up on a beach. In the first movement, rocks appear, light and dark play on water.
