A colonial scene in the U.S. An old lady sits astride a bell while a man in blackface, wig, and livery pulls the bell rope. From an upper door emerges an old man, dressed as a dandy, who tips his hat to the woman as he walks down stairs grinning. Others leave the same door and walk down the same stairs: a shabby man, a cop, and, several times, the same dandy. The man in blackface hangs himself; the dandy continues to smile.

| User ReviewTommaso CPur non avendone capito il senso, affascinante! |
| User ReviewGarrett CI don't really know if this short belongs on what is supposed to be an application with real movies to review, but since it is here, I'll give my two cents. The Hearts of Age seems to be a young Orson Welles playing around with cinematography in the form of parody. It's not really a real film, but it remains visually interesting. It's especially interesting to see young Orson using an up-angled shot with an off-kilter horizon; a cinematic touch he would later become known for. |
| User ReviewMartin TEarly Welles, with some blooming indications of genius in the film's lyricism. However, I couldn't tell at the time if it was surrealism or just damned confusing. I have since learned it was Welles making fun of surrealism, which explains the silliness. The blackface is most regrettable. |
