Not his best work

 

Arrival of a Train at Vincennes Station (1896)


Directed by George Melies this is an early short film. A train arrives at the station.


The content of this film is just too similar to what you would find in the Lumiere or Edison catalogues rather than the flair you expect from Melies. It does not help the image of this short is pretty degraded. Not worth seeking out.


2/5
