Absolutely Fantastic
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
A drunk staggers into his apartment and falls asleep. He dreams he climbs to the top of a building and flies to the moon, then falls back to earth. When he wakes, still drunk, he is in his apartment.This collaboration between Gaston Velle and Ferdinand Zecca -- Zecca plays the lead -- can be viewed as an attempt to build a film vocabulary, shots and images that could and would be used by future film makers: the clock with the improbably long pendulum, that would show up in Chaplin's drunk comedy, 1 A.M.; the flying dream that would show up in Porter's DREAMS OF THE RAREBIT FIEND; the fall past stars that recalls Melies' AN IMPOSSIBLE VOYAGE; the Man in the Moon that swallows the drunk, that De Chomon would reuse in his version of A TRIP TO THE MOON. These and others would be used and reused by others for the next few years.They would be swept away in half a dozen years when the film grammar pioneered by George Albert Smith and perfected by D.W. Griffith triumphed. A new film language would emerge, with a grammar and vocabulary that had no use for them.
