Blowing up

 

Explosion en mer (1898)


Directed by Alexandre Promio this is an early short film. A boat is exploded on the water.


Possibly the first use of an explosion on film, something Hollywood has come to rely on. The action is entertaining and must have been surprising for the day. Stands out against some of the more placcid films of the period.


3/5
