Les Petits Valseurs (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. Children dance.
A bit simplistic and jerky in my opinion, not the smoothest animation from Reynaud. Image quality on the version I saw was not great either. Not the best from this director.
2/5
One Battle After Another (2025)
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson this film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro and Chase Infiniti. A former revolutionary and his daughter are on the run from the powers that be.
While everyone else loved this one it sort of passed me by. While I found it enjoyable I am not sure it has a much depth to it as some claim. Has a few moments that were really funny.
3/5
Le Repas des Poulets (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A young girl feeds chickens.
Very simple in concept and execution. The animation works just about well enough. I could not find a good quality version online unfortunately.
3/5
La Nageuse (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A girl swims in water.
A charming little short that works fairly well. Only a small clip but nicely done. Pretty good perspective.
3/5
Le Steeple-chase (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early short animated film. Two horses cross the frame.
Somewhere between jerky and smooth animation, not perfect. Fine for what it is. Lacks some of the charm of other Reynaud shorts.
2/5
Les Bulles de Savon (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A girl blows bubbles.
A bit jerky in motion and not in great image quality. Not the top tier of the Reynaud animations. One to skip.
2/5
L'Equilibriste (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A child balances a drum.
Not the best of the Reynaud catalogue. The action is a bit jerky in this animation. Also hard to find in decent image quality.
2/5
