Clay (1965)

Clay (1965)

directed by Giorgio Mangiamele

80 minutes

Nick, a man on the run is found and taken in by a small community of artists. His presence gives Margo, the youngest of the artists, hope. Nick's presence and his growing closeness Margo angers Chris, one of the other artists. Chris thought that Margo was his but she rejects that notion.

Chris tries to get Nick to leave. He gets into a fight with Nick. Finally, when he learns that Nick is wanted by the police he tells them where he can be found.

Thoughts

This is an Australian film. The lead actors don't have many other screen credits.

This movie is in black and white. There was no option to watch it with captions. There were a few places where I wish that had been an option.

This is not a conventionally told story. The focus seems be as much on how the story is told as of what it consists.

There are few if any long takes. The movie is edited together in a choppy sort of way. This was an interesting watch and it felt very experimental and artsy. I don't love it but I don't regret .watching it.
