I have little to say about this short film-- it was tedious. But I have loved Calder’s art. I once went to a show of his work at the Phillips Collection (DC) and it was enchanting. The man drew pictures with wire, and the wires were sometimes built like little toys that moved when a handle was turned. And of course there is a GIGANTIC MOBILE hanging in the main entrance hall of the east wing of the Nat’l Gallery of Art in DC. I like his stuff.
