Les Films des Lumière (Part 2): 1890s World in Frames

Journey through "Les Films des Lumière (Part 2)," a black-and-white silent anthology of 30 early shorts by the Lumière Brothers, filmed from 1895-1897. This collection unveils a global tapestry: "Arrivée d’un train à Bathery Place" (#320) hums with rail bustle, "Danse tyrolienne" (#31) twirls with Alpine charm, and "Néron essayant des poisons sur des esclaves" (#747) stages a grim Roman spectacle. From "Enfants annamites ramassant des sapèques" (#1274) in Vietnam to "Les chats boxeurs" (#986) delighting with feline fisticuffs, scenes dart across trains, dances, and quirky moments like "Le cocher endormi" (#666). A delight for film buffs and history fans, it locks 1890s life in flickering brilliance.
