Movies Watched -- Meshes of the Afternoon (1943)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

~14 minute running time … silent movie from the 1940s, made by a woman… this was on the BFI Greatest Films of All Time list and my local library happened to have a copy, so I watched it and I have to say there wasn’t much here. I guess it was a “woke” selection since the BFI wants to include more movies by women and other “minorities,” even amateurish shorts like this one, but I can confirm that you can give Meshes of the Afternoon a miss. Tiny Maya Deren has a handsome face and good bones, but that’s about it. I guess she was interested in sex and violence and death, but don’t know for sure.
