Lost in translation

 

Adventures of William Tell (1898)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. A clown makes a statue come alive.


To be honest I am not nearly familiar enough with the story of William Tell to be able to work out what is going on here. The set dressing, costumes and effects are decent but I am slightly flummoxed by the action. Not the best of Melies in my opinion.


3/5
