The Golden Beetle
(1907)
Directed by Segundo de
Chomon this is an early short film. A magician transforms a beetle
and is surprised by the results.
While I found it a
little hard to follow the story here, which is pretty simple, this is
still an interesting watch. The screen is filled with great visuals
and the early use of tinting brings some nice colours to the film.
Special effects are what makes this film and it holds up well to
modern viewing.
4/5
