Ali Baba and the Forty
Thieves (1902)
Directed by Ferdinand
Zecca this film has production design from Alberto Collado. A man
stumbles across the hiding place a group of thieves are using for
their riches.
What stands out most
about this film is how impressive it looks in terms of set design and
the hand tinting for colour. While the plot is basic to say the least
and it helps to know the story before hand to follow the action it is
the images that hold your attention. I was really impressed by the
look of this film and it is very reminiscent of Georges Melies style.
4/5
