The Mechanics of Love Trailers

This short begins with a couple about to make love, and then does a tour of innocuous objects in the room around them that invariably suggest sexual activity.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Steineded How sad is this?
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
tavm Just watched this very unusual short on YouTube. If you've read the synopsis above, you should get the idea of what happens in this brief film. I will mention that the woman, Nina Glenn, is topless so obviously, this wasn't shown in mainstream theatres during this period of the Production Code. We probably wouldn't have seen the man, Michael Crane, take off his clothes and certainly not both making love naked during this time in the Major Studio releases of the era. And those random images with Crane and Ms. Glenn making unrelated comments certainly isn't something any studio head would green-light in their lineup of upcoming films. In fact, directors Willard Maas and Ben Moore don't seem to want to make something that would make any real sense. Actually, though what I just described isn't what I would call entertaining, at least the zither music by John Gruen provides a wonderful distraction throughout. So if you're interested in the really offbeat type of film, Mechanics of Love should be right up your alley.
