🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Méliès constructs a brief vaudeville act, relying on his signature stop-substitution trick to perform cinematic sorcery. He explores the very nature of the new medium, using it as an extension of the magical performance.
Those who tire of modern spectacle will find charm in this foundational moment of screen fantasy. What lingers after is the pure joy of a simple trick executed with theatrical flair. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Georges Méliès
