Drifting through the park

Barcelona Park at Twilight (1904)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this is an early short film. A camera on a boat floats down a river through a park in Barcelona.

This short is pretty much exactly what is says on the tin and somewhat of a contracts to it's director's more fantastical work. Not a great deal happens but this is a nice view of a park from a by gone era. The tinting is supposed to indicate the time of day but does not add massively to the film.


3/5
