Rather Bland Short from the Director

Gavotte (1968)

** (out of 4)

Walerian Borowczyk made some pretty bizarre films during his career and that includes some really strange shorts. This one here clocks in at ten-minutes and features a play without dialogue. The play is being performed by a couple dwarfs and I'm sure there's no real plot going on. Yeah, this one here really didn't work with me. I said there wasn't any sort of plot and that's an understatement because there's really nothing that happens throughout the running time. Someone loses something. Another item is lost. Something else. One dwarf enters the stage as the other leaves. I'm not sure what the director was going for but there's just not much entertainment to be had here.
