Dreaming a dream


History of a Crime (1901)

Directed by Ferdinand Zecca this is an early short film. Arrested for a crime a man dreams of his past before his execution.

This is a really sophisticated narrative for the time it was made in. Featuring both a plot and flash backs this was a big surprise for 1901. Well worth a look out for fans of early cinema.

4/5
