a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

There is indeed a mermaid who is trying to deal with humans who can't seem to get along. There are goldfish and other wet things. We are treated to a lot of running around and going nowhere (or at least not too far). The mermaid has unique qualities. The stop action tricks are haphazard at best and have been done by this man so often.

This short silent film is part of the DVD collection entitled "The Magic of Méliès" and is the fourth volume of THE MOVIES BEGIN series from Kino Video. Unlike copies of Méliès' films that are posted on the internet, the prints for these short films are exceptionally crisp and clean and feature wonderful musical scores. Oddly, though, is that aside from a few films such as THE BLACK IMP and THE IMPOSSIBLE VOYAGE, most of the shorts chosen for this DVD are actually not among the best of Méliès' films--having a strong tendency to show is "stagy" material as opposed to the films that have elaborate sets and plots. In particular, my favorites such as BARBE-BLEUE and LE VOYAGE DANS LE LUNE (his most famous film) are not on this DVD.This is a pretty dull film, as much of it is simply a movie of Méliès performing magic tricks. In person this might be interesting, but on film (where it's no trick to use camera tricks to make a magician seem great), it just doesn't impress. Then, when the mermaid enters the picture, she is pretty sloppily integrated compared to the camera tricks in many of the director's other short films. All in all, among the worst and least inspiring films of this film genius and pioneer.

This Georges Méliès short feature has some pretty good visual effects once it gets going. Some of the special effects are very familiar from other Méliès features, but there is also some original material that is at times quite creative.As do a number of Méliès films, this one starts with a stage performer doing a routine. This part of it is rather bland, and although there are a couple of interesting tricks, it is really only a preface to the main sequence underwater, which is thematically set up by some tricks with fish.Once it gets to the actual "Mermaid" sequence, the movie really hits its stride. There are a couple of times when the camera tricks are a bit obvious, and maybe not quite up to Méliès's usual standard, but most of the other shots are rather nice. As it goes along, the visuals get more elaborate and more creative, so it's worth watching all the way through despite the slow start.

I watched this as one of the shorts on The magic of Melies video cassette released by Kino on Video, 1994. Image quality was good. Music matched the mood of the film. No color was added. Cropping did not appear to interfere with the film. Frame speed appeared to be adjusted. This should give an idea of the technical quality of the release I watched.This film was pretty. Some of the special effects in it are extremely good. I could'nt pick out exactly where the editing was done when the clown pulls rabbits from a hat. If it did'nt go so quickly I think that many of the effects would come off as cheesy and played out, given that they have been used in so many films since. As it is the dizzying pace keeps things interesting. I think that an interesting aspect of the film is Melies experience as a magician. He directs eye movement away from the effect much as a magician distracts the eye to perform a trick.I recommend watching this. It has an intriguing feel. I don't know that one should go to a great deal of trouble to find this film, but it's worth a look.
