Losing your head in the kitchen

 

The Cook's Revenge (1900)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. A cook gets decapitated and has his revenge.


A silly little short involving slapstick comedy. There is not a huge amount to this one but it is fairly funny and decently uses camera tricks to achieve its effects. The only thing that is not entirely clear is what starts the whole thing off.


3/5
