Lisa and Suzanne 1972

Directed by Ernie Gehr

Ernie Gehr's short, silent film [...] shows two young girls, almost children still, on a New York street. Both wear blue, one washed out blue jeans, the other a short, somewhat poor jersey dress. Both are lanky, weary, a little prudish in front of the camera. Only their luscious, wavy preraffaelit hair is meticulously combed and stands in a strange contrast to their overall appearance and the bleak surrounding, in which they linger.
