A study of the form of the human body

Okay, so I have no affinity for dance of any sort. I used to dance when I was younger and drunkier, but now I'm as clumsy with dancing as a bronco buck is with bucking. But still I have an appreciation for the human body as form, for its shape and line, the ways it can bend, twist, contort, stretch, in harmonic beauty. A Study in Choreography for Camera (1945) does nothing more than capture the well toned body of a dancer as he dances. Some of the geographic games we're used to expect by Maya the Trickster are present, but it's mostly a study, not a film. A dancer dancing. There have been shorts with even less to say but not many that said it as gracefully.
