Dancing in colour


Pierrette's Escapades (1900)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film that has been hand coloured. A woman resists one man's courting in favour of another.

Very simple in terms of content but it is nice to see a film from Guy-Blache embracing a narrative. The colours and action make this a charming watch. Very much a quaint early film.

4/5
