What green fairy?


Wonderful Absinthe (1899)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. We see a misunderstanding over some absinthe at an outdoor cafe.

It is easy to see how the characters could have a misunderstanding because it is pretty hard to tell what is going on here. It is nice to see an attempt at a narrative here but I found it impossible to follow. Not the best of the films I have seen from Guy-Blache.

2/5
