Electric Current (1906)
Directed by Segundo de
Chomon this silent era short film stars unknown performers. A couple
regularly steal from a shop so the shop keeper electrifies the shop.
There is not a huge
amount to this film but the simple narrative is easy to understand. I
am not sure having the shop keeper's plan back fires on him carries
any deeper commentary but for a bit of slapstick this is fairly
funny. Compared to other films but the same director this is not
nearly as fantastical but not a bad watch.
3/5
