The muscles from Prussia

Sandow (1894)

Directed by William K.L. Dickson this short documentary features body builder Eugen Sandow. The subject of the film does a number of poses to show off his muscles.

There is not a lot to this film other than a short sequences of poses but I suppose the fluid movement of muscle may be appealing to some. It is hard to much about a this film as there is nothing in the way of narrative, it is just a short showcase. The camera does not even move and there is no real editing to speak of either.
