Flowing dress, made to impress


Danse fleur de lotus (1897)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. We see a woman in a large dress doing a flowery dance.

Very simple in concept this single shot of around a minute captures a portion of a dance performance. There is not a huge amount to this film but it does give an idea of the nature of the act. Similar to a number of other films of the period but not bad.

3/5
