A directorial mystery


The Fairy of Spring (1906)

Directed by Vincent Loraint-Heilbronn it seems this short film is often wrongly attributed to Alice Guy-Blache. A couple offer an old woman shelter in their home.

This is a pretty simple early film with some lovely sets and special effects. Very much of the school of the fantastic early films. Well worth a watch even if there is not a huge amount to the plot.

4/5
