Directed by Günther Hassert
A studio-shot showcase of Marcel Marceau’s pantomime art, this 1960 West German TV special strings together a suite of wordless vignettes centered on his alter ego Bip. Eschewing conventional plot, director Günther Hassert frames Marceau’s comic-tragic sketches in clean, minimalist setups so the rhythm, precision, and emotional range of the “art of silence” carry the whole program for television.
