Das Ornament des verliebten Herzens

Das Ornament des verliebten Herzens

Lotte Reiniger | Germany | 1919 | 5' |

| IFFR 2025

A couple embraced by a heart-shaped ornamental structure, show their love and desire for one another through dance, and while doing so, they reshape, and reshape the world around them. A filigree delight of minimal gestures, hints at more than movement, movement that turns grand and exquisite, breathtaking once love wins.
