Movement to music

Ballet Adagio (1972)

Directed by Norman McLaren this short film stars dancers Anna Marie Holmes and David Holmes. We see a couple dancing to Albinoni's Adagio as choreographed by Asaf Messerer.

Highly simple in it's conception this film does a great job of capturing the beauty of human movement. There is little camera work but that just highlights the dance rather than detracting from the film. As someone who knows nothing about dance or ballet in particular I found this a really enjoyable film.


4/5
