Dance, dance no revolution


Saharet Performs the Bolero (1905)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this is an early short film. We see several people perform a dance.

With some nice costumes and set dressing this is a pretty well staged dance piece with colour tinting that really brings the images alive. In terms of being ground breaking cinema there might not be a huge amount going on but this is still a decent watch. As with many of Guy-Blache's films of the period this is just a single, unmoving shot.

3/5
