A simple magic trick


The Magic Mirror (1908)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this film stars Julienne Mathieu. A woman sits at a mirror and sees something strange in the reflection.

Based around a single camera trick this is not a short with a deepest of plot lines. The special effect is impressive enough for the period but the use of it does not really go anyway. Ultimately a simple curiosity of a film.

3/5
