Can you name a movie that had sound but no dialogue for 34 minutes which is the lenght of the whole movie? Hint: not an American movie.

Ok here is my guess ..Le Ballon rouge
I think it's about half an hour long and is French !

I love this film..here's a Wikipedia link.

My guess is a Warhol film. Now known as "****" ("Four Stars"), it was once known as "24" and was later edited into 2 films. The original was 24 hours long. The second half was titled "The Loves of Ondine" or something like that.

I started to say "Eyes Wide Shut". But that was a 2 hour film...even tho it seemed there were periods of at least 30 mins with no dialogue. What a snoozer. But then I remembered "The Grandmother". I think that qualifies. There really wasn't dialogue in that movie...unless you count grunts as dialogue!

dance girl gets the Oscar. Asked on Local TV channel 6 this afternoon.Then I found the same source on "W" which fits d g source.

Oh DG, you're so 60s !

Georgia, yes I originally read the question as a full length movie, and I was thinking of stuff like EraserHead and Trainspotting. Remember that weird sequence in there with the dead baby crawling across the ceiling?
