Joseph Cornell Angel (made with Rudolph Burckhardt) (1957)

This is a lovely little film. A statue of an angel stands over a fountain. (I think it is a fountain. ) We see the surface of the water and the reflections on it. It has a Monetlike quality to it. Cornell (or Rudy Burckhardt who did the cinematography) gives the statue virtually a living presence. I felt it as having a personality. There is one really beautiful shot of the statue as a silhouette. The angel has a calmness and a protective quality. John C. , Film Notes
