The Magician from
Arabia (1906)
Directed by Segundo de
Chomon this is an early short film. A sorcerer allegedly from Arabia
does some “magic” tricks.
Based around familiar
camera tricks and the usual Chomon mise en scene this is not a
terrible short film. The tricks do not exactly pack a lot of punch
and then you have the questionable fact that there are probably not
real Arabs anywhere near this production. Probably not one to seek
out for the best example of Chomon's work.
2/5
