The Chinese Shadows
(1908)
Directed by Segundo de
Chomon this film features regular collaborator Julienne Mathieu. Two
women introduce some Chinese style shadow theatre.
Short and lacking
somewhat in plot this a fairly decent attempt at reproducing shadow
theatre. As with some of Chomon's other films of the era this film
makes uncomfortable use of white people portraying other races. Not
the best of Chomon's films.
2/5
