Mime of Marcel Marceau, The

• 1972 ----- color ----- 22 min ----- 16mm
• Presents a unique view of a unique artist--the great French pantomimist at work, both on-stage and behind the scenes. We watch Marcel Marceau before an audience giving a seemingly effortless performance that runs the gamut from comedy to tragedy; then he explains the arduous hours of exercise and study that underlie each gesture. "Your movements must be as continuous as a song." For Marceau each action must be finely-honed until it is perfect.
• Topics: (Dance, Drama, Speech Communications)
