Cinderella (1899)
Directed by Georges
Melies this film stars Mlle Barral, Bleuette Bernon, Carmelli and
Jehanne d'Alcy. A young woman is not allowed to attend the ball,
thankfully her fairy godmother rocks up to save the day.
Benefiting from being
based on a well known story this film does not necessarily give the
complete tale of Cinderella but it does manage to squeeze a lot into
six minutes. As with an Melies film the special effects and more
dream like sequences are the highlight of the film. This may still be
early in his film making process but this is a good watch from
Melies.
3/5
