🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Georges Méliès constructs the film as a continuous attraction, linking a chain of tricks based on the single comic device of the assistant's metamorphosis. He relies on theatrical staging and the magic of editing to explore the boundaries of cinematic illusion.
Those who tire of modern CGI will find charm in this pure, handmade spectacle. What lingers after viewing is a sense of joyful wonder at cinema's playful origins. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Georges Méliès
