The Flute of Krishna: An East Indian Dance Idyl Created by Martha Graham. 1926.

(2/17/00)

This is a very attractive, very enjoyable dance film in an early color process. It was nice to look at, but I was not able to "read" the narrative. I am sure that there was a narrative which someone who knew dance well could follow. The major male character was covered in green makeup. The editing was very simple. Most of the film was shown in a long shot and I felt relief when closer shots were inserted.
