The Dance of Life (1929): “Thought In Its Wildness”
The Dance of Life (1929), dir. John Cromwell & A. Edward Sutherland
Writes Professor Robert Gerst:
Novelist Virginia Woolf explained in 1926 what she sought from movies: “…We should be able to see thought in its wildness, in its beauty, in its oddity, pouring from men with their elbows on a table; from women with their little handbags slipping to the floor.” (The Movies and Reality)
In this shot from The Dance of Life (1929), a character prepares for her wedding night. What do you see?
