Simple delight


Scenes of Ostend (1929)

Directed by Henri Storck this is a short documentary. We see film of the Belgian port town of Ostend.

Not dense on content or narrative this is a very simple look a the images and moments captured in a small port town. There is something very lyrical about this documentary and it is a fascinating watch. The key to this film's charm is it's simplicity rather than trying to over complicated things.

4/5
