synopsis

Exposure of narrative patterns in a precise choreography of gestures, movements and facial expressions taken from 1950s' and 1960s' Hollywood melodramas turns our attention to ways of building up tension and formal patterns as well as to women becoming subjects of voyeurism and watching, while the soundtrack emphasizes narrative stereotypes.
