A Man on the Beach

Genre: Drama
Countries: United Kingdom
Release Date: October 21, 1955
Year: 1955
Runtime:28 min
IMDb Rating:

This weird short manages to pack in fraud, murder, alcoholism and transvestitism, with two somewhat obvious plot twists but a acertain amount of interest in the characterisation and mise-en-scene. You can see Losey’s long-take style in its early stages. If anything, his filming is TOO articulate, tipping his hand and giving away plot turns before they happen.
