Silky moves

Loie Fuller (1902)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this film stars Loie Fuller. A bat disappears to be replaced by a dancer who shows off her skills with a silk dress.

This short does a good job of capturing a hint of the talents of the famous dancer Loie Fuller. While undoubtedly the film is too short to capture a full performance the flowing movement of the dancer is intriguing. Despite appearing as just a single static shot I still found this to be an entertaining watch.


3/5
