Laveuses sur la Rivière | Lumière Brothers | ★★★★★
As the traffic passes by behind them, three men, standing on some decking, look out across the river, whilst below them several women, on their knees, busily go about their laundering, in the Lumières’ historically fascinating and formally elegant short—a work teeming with life.
Against a stark black background, Crissie Sheridan intoxicatingly performs a serpentine dance in a long, flowing white dress, which fills the frame as she twirls and swirls with great grace and energy, creating some wonderful rolling shapes and shadows as she does so.
