Puce Moment (1949)
6/10
Great Short, Although Not as Good as Other Anger Films
2 September 2015
Kenneth Anger is one of my favorite filmmakers of all time, and this is a film I've been wanting to watch for quite some time. After watching it, I enjoyed it. Although not as great as other Anger films like "Scorpio Rising", which has become one of my all time favorite films, it is still a great, little, experimental short.

It has no plot, like most of avant garde cinema, but it is a series of images, which, unlike other avant garde films, are all connected, involving the same one character, who, mainly just goes through a bunch of her dresses. Other stuff happens as well, but it is mainly a woman going through her dresses.

What is so good about that? Well, Anger's imagery and style make the film very visually interesting, and the soundtrack helps the film as well. It is ahead of it's time, and a great short film that you should probably have enough time to watch.
