La Possession de
l'enfant (1909)
Directed by Loius
Feuillade this short film stars Renee Carl. The courts put a young
boy in the custody of his rich father but bored the child desires a
return to his mother.
An early custody
battle film does not offer the most modern or in depth look on it's
subject matter as you might imagine. This simple drama is still a
fairly decent watch but not an overly remarkable example of early
cinema. The camera is largely static and the performance may seem a
little over the top to modern viewers.
3/5
