Bath time

 

Baignade de negres (1896)


Directed by Auguste & Louis Lumiere this is an early short film. A group of black people jump into the water from a dock.


Nice to see a bit of diversity in the Lumiere catalogue and in a non-racist way which is a bit more common in say the Edison films. There is plenty of action on the screen, a decent little scene is captured. A pretty fun watch all in all.


3/5
