Playing Cards (1896)
Direcred by George
Melies this is a short film which stars Georges himself and a few
members of his family. Three men sit at a table in a garden playing
cards.
There is not really
any plot to this film and it comes across more as a camera test than
anything else. Apparently this is a remake of an earlier Lumiere film
showing that cinema has never been one for originality. Lacking
Melies's flair for special effects this was the director's first film
so maybe we can let him off for that.
2/5
