White Mane (1953)
7/10
white on white look
26 July 2022
A herd of horses roam free in the south of France. Men capture the herd but its leader White Mane refuses to be tamed. The horse manages to escape but the ranchers continue to hound him. A little boy from a fishing family is fascinated with the magnificent white horse.

This is a black and white French short. There is the visual of the all white horse with the blonde little boy dressed in all white. While visually interesting, it's not breaking any boundaries. It's the white on white look in a black and white film. The story is a little thin. It has a simple poetic resolution although a better written story could raise it up more.
