Danse macabre (1922)
Wild, artsy and interesting.
30 October 2011
This is a short film from a collection entitled "Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941". Most of the films are very artsy and not the sort of stuff the average viewer would enjoy.

This one is set during the time of plague in Spain. It consists of very creepy animation--very creepy. In addition, a couple of live actors dance about a creepy old castle as skeletons play music and appears to have come to take the woman to the afterlife. It's incredibly strange--even for this collection. But the music is nice and the film very well made for what it is. Also, the creepy factor make this worth seeing. Wild and interesting.
