Sonata

Sonata (1934)

Short experimental film in the form of a sonata, with the parts allegro, adagio and presto. The first part shows, apart from animated dominoes, musical instruments: the keyboard of a piano and a clarinet. It also has images of the drum of a musical box and a gramophone. The adagio is mainly a play of light and dark. The light of the sun, burning candles and cigarettes alternate with images of a hand, trees and a glass of wine. In the final part, presto, a quick montage shows a row between a man and a woman. But the film has a happy end when the two make it up with a kiss.

Director: Emiel van Moerkerken
