PAPILLONS JAPONAIS, LES

  • Další název/názvy: JAPANISCHE SCHMETTERLINGE
  • Žánr: Short film
  • Rok: 1908
  • Popis: On a stage with an oriental backdrop, a Japanese magician performs a series of magic tricks in which he makes a number of characters appear and disappear, who go on to dance around the stage with colourful parasols. Finally, a large butterfly appears which then turns into a woman, who performs a serpentine dance. The film forms part of what is known as 'cinema of attractions', successor to the popular shows of the late nineteenth century. Beyond a simple narrative, the film seeks to astound and amaze the audience through a series of visual tricks: transformations, overlays, substitutions and reverse motion, among others.
