The Surrender of Tournavos (1897)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. We see a recreation of a scene of battle.


Unfortunately the historical context of this short is something I am not familiar with. As a stand alone the action is fine, fairly entertaining and a decent little plot to follow. Some of the scenery is a little shaky giving away the false nature of the set up.


2/5
