🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a concise moral fable from classic folklore, relying on Méliès's full arsenal of theatrical tricks—double exposure, substitution splices, and painted sets—to bring the supernatural punishment to life.

What lingers after the brief runtime is a pure sense of cinematic wonder, a reminder that fantasy was baked into the medium from its very first dreams. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Segundo de Chomón

Watch in dim light, as an early magic lantern show, to appreciate each hand-crafted illusion.
