The Geography of the Body [47461] Released: 1943-01-01 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 7 mins Popularity: 0.1102 Vote Average: 5.4 Vote Count: 17 Overview: A quotation from Aristophanes, "The desire and pursuit of the whole is called love," precedes views of a man and a woman's bodies, often in extreme close up. Off-screen, a voice recites fragments of oracular literature and purple prose. We see an eye, an ear, a mouth, a tongue, bits of hair, a hand, the tips of fingers, toes. Occasionally, the frame includes a larger scape of a body: a chest, a back, a breast. Usually the camera is stationery; sometimes, it moves across a body, remaining in close up. They hold hands for one moment. The bodies are without clothes; no genitalia are visible. Cast [3] George BarkerNarrator / Body Willard MaasBody Marie MenkenBody Trailers
