A bit cringe

 

Tchin-Chao, the Chinese Conjurer (1904)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. A Chinese magician does some tricks.


Probably not aged well with the way it is based on stereotypes. The staging and backdrop are good and the tricks are mostly up to the usual Melies level. Not my favourite of the director's films.


2/5
