A early fire starter


Les flammes diaboliques (1907)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this a short silent film. A devilish magician appears and uses fire for magic.

In terms of plot there is not really a story here but there is plenty of camera tricks to keep you entertained. As with many Chomon films this film has excellent sets and some lovely hand painted colour tinting. A solid example of early special effects cinema.

3/5
