Review:
I can't say how impressed I am with this short French film, it's insanely pretty and engrossing. The red tint to the film just emits such a fantastic atmosphere, and the amount of detail put into this is impressive. The film is so well reserved, it's remarkable not to mention the fact that it's nearly nonstop filled with tricks (even if they are rather obvious remember this was 1907!) and flashes of fire. The plot is about a coffin that sinks into the bowels of earth which contains a Demon Magician (that looks like a horned skeleton). Out comes the Demon and we watch him perform a few tricks. He then takes two girls, wrap them in tarps, causes them to levitate and lights them on fire! Later a Good Spirit shows up to oppose this action and to try to stop the Demon. It's only a little over nine minutes long and it's available here on youtube to watch. I highly suggest you hit "play" on this one.
Availability: I don't believe it's on DVD
