Two passes


Pas de deux (1968)

Directed by Norman McLaren this is a short film featuring dancers Margaret Mercier and Vincent Warren. A woman dances by herself and then with a man to Romanian pan pipe music.

Pretty simple in concept what elevates this short is the visuals. McLaren uses special effects to really emphasise the movement of the human form in a beautiful way. I really enjoyed this short even as someone that knows nothing about dance.

4/5
