A barrel of laughs


A Story Well Spun (1906)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. A man in a barrel gets pushed down a hill causing all sorts of havoc.

A fun collection of little scenes this is a decent comedy. Nothing is going to set the world on fire here but there is plenty to enjoy. Well made but ultimately just a series of static shots edited together.

3/5
