Keeping it up


Clown, Dog and Balloon (1905)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. We see a clown and a dog play keep ups with a large balloon.

A scene you will see played out in many a park across the land the real impressive skill comes from the four legged star of the piece. This is just a single shot of a vaudeville act and it is getting a little late for such simple direction. Entertaining on a superficial level but lacking in narative.

2/5
