SPECTRE ROUGE, LE

  • Weitere Titel: RED SPECTRE, THE
  • Genre: Short film
  • Jahr: 1907
  • Beschreibung: A spectre appears against the backdrop of a grotto and performs a variety of magic tricks consisting of making a series of girls, dancers, objects and flames appear and disappear, also making bodies levitate and performing transfiguration tricks. This film represents part of Chomón's evolution from 'cinema of attractions' (which focuses on astounding the audience through visual trickery) to plot-driven cinema, although this piece is not without its tricks. The filmmaker also uses a variety of shots to observe the tricks, moving away from the exclusive use of the long shot.
