Puce Moment is a 1949 6-minute short film by Kenneth Anger.[1]
The film opens with a camera watching 1920s-style flapper gowns being taken off a dress rack. The dresses are removed and danced off the rack to music. A long-lashed woman, Yvonne Marquis, dresses in the puce gown and walks to her vanity to apply perfume. She lies on a chaise longue which then begins to move around the room and eventually out to a patio. Borzois appear and she prepares to take them for a walk.[2]
Cast
The only actor in the film is Yvonne Marquis, who was Anger's cousin.[3] This was her last film, and shortly after the film was made she moved to Mexico.
