Puce Moment

Puce Moment is a short 6minute film by Kenneth Anger. Filmed in 1949, Puce Moment resulted from the unfinished short film Puce Women. The film opens with a camera watching 1920sstyle flapper gowns being taken off a dress rack. The dresses are removed and danced off the rack to music. A longlashed woman, Yvonne Marquis, dresses in the purple 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.

Yvonne Marquis, who was Angers cousin, moved to Mexico shortly after the film was made. Anger claims Marquis was a mistress to Lzaro Crdenas, the Former President of Mexico.citation needed
