The Court Martial at Rennes (1899)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. French officer Dreyfus is brought in front of a court martial.


Part of a larger series this short does not make much sense on its own or without understanding the historical context. It is a bit hard to pick up what is actually going on in the scene really. Not the best of early Melies.


2/5
