Extraordinary Illusions
(1901)
Directed by George
Melies this short film is also known as “Dislocation Mysterieuse”
or “Dislocation Extraordinary”. A clown performs tricking
involving his limbs and head being detachable.
Compared to some of
the other camera magic tricks I've seen from Melies this is not the
best but for it's short run time it's pretty entertaining. Some of
the editing is a little jumpy and you can see how this one is done
very easily. While this may not be the directors best work you can
see how it was a start on the path to his better stuff.
2/5
