The disappointment of 1901

Dream and Reality (1901)

Directed by Ferdinand Zecca this is a short film from the silent era. A rich man drinks with an attractive young woman, kisses her then wakes up next to his wife realising it was a dream.

This is a very simple short that runs for less than a minute in duration. There is not much to the plot but it does work as a narrative even if it is questionable in content. As early films go this is pretty basic and it's hard to say much about it.


2/5
