Horsing about

 

Cheval de haute ecole, II (1897)


Directed by Auguste & Louis Lumiere this early short film stars Napoleon Rancy. A man on a horse trots around for the camera.


This is a single static shot that mostly manages to the keep the subject in frame. The horse trotting round is fairly entertaining and does end with a decent flourish. A nice little short for the period.


3/5
