Beautiful choreography and effects that retain a lovely sense of magic and imagination: especially the "thawing steam" fade effect, and the matte / composite effect of the dancers on the lake. The music is highly appropriate and atmospheric, as well. Thank you indeed for making me aware of this. :-)
Am I the only one who feels that "progress" takes on a new, very peculiar meaning when this early movie is compared to what is happening in the cinema now? Children have so much more imaginative freedom than their adult counterparts, I feel.
Quelle poésie, très émouvant,au plus proche de l'émotion humaine, des enfants, de la grâce. Merci pour ce partage !
Louis Feuillade, master of composition.
David Bordwell's superb book Figures Traced in Light concentrates on Feuillade, Mizoguchi, Angelopoulos and Hou as masters of staging
