Seeing things

 

The Hallucinated Alchemist (1897)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. An alchemist falls asleep in his laboratory and has some strange dreams.


A short part of a larger, lost film this is a film fun film. The special effects and hand colouring are really well done. Definitely a good example of the magic of Melies's films.


3/5
