The setting is simplistic and the characters are dressed in average, slightly old fashioned clothing. We interpret that they are a married couple. The body language and facial expressions of the charcters is important as we cannot hear them speak, so we can attempt to gather what their mood is through their reactions.
The piece is unique because we cannot hear any dialogue, the soundtrack is both diegetic and non diegetic , it dominates the film which has obviously been done so that the viewer can raise their own questions about it. It is rare to find a film like this because it is hard to create such a film that the audience will still be able to understand without any diagloue.
The advantages of the short narrative is that it doesn't bore the audience and often leaves them wanting more. In this case, we are totally unaware of what happens before and after the short scene so it is highly contraversial.
I am inspired by the film because it entertains the viewer without much action taking place, containing slight humour. It proves that their does not need to be much diagloue to be successful and get a point across which is a factor i may want to consider in my own film.
The film seems to be about a couple (married or not) engaging in coversation. The woman at first confronts him about a broken glass to which he doesnt seem to awknowledge until she leaves the room where he glues the piece back together. Then, it seems as though she is making sexual advances on him, or some form of effection as she lifts up her skirt slightly.
The social group represented by the film is middle-upper class and this is shown through the costume and decor of the house. However, it is diffcult to stereotype the characters as we cannot be sure as to what they are saying.
