A little magic


At the Hypnotist's (1897)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. We see a man visit a hypnotists and gets some tricks played on him.

Using simple trick photography this is another good example of the early camera trick films. Well made an edited this short shows off some of the things you can achieve in film. Clearly an early experiment but on par with anything else of the era.

3/5
