Hop and change

The Frog (1908)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this film stars Julienne Mathieu. A frog hopes round a fountain and magic transformations happen.

As enjoyable as the fantastic imagery is here the film lacks a clear story or plot to thread all the action together. The scenes created are impressive but the fact that it is all done with one simple editing trick does take away some of the wonder from this film. An enjoyable diversion but not much more.


3/5
