Watch Accordion Player For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

the audience applauded

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This film is the last surviving film experiment by Louis Aime Augustin le Prince and it is not as restored beautifully as the directer's previous films, "Roundhay Garden Scene" and "Traffic Crossing the Leeds Bridge". But, despite the poor restoration, we still do know who the person playing the accordion is: Adolphe le Prince, the director's son. The film lasts two seconds so don't expect a plot but, considering the time, this film deserves an 7 at least.As some people have been saying, Adolphe le Prince, while playing, appears to be joyful and happy. He walks while he plays, in front of a house that appears to be quite old-fashioned and fancy looking, so there is more to look at than just the player himself. Other than the fact that this is one of the first true films, there is nothing ground-breaking about this short, except maybe the fact that it is the first film showing a musical instrument.

As i say in title, this is first movie where we can see musical instrument. And that musical instrument is melodeon, a kind a similar instrument to 'harmonika', very popular instrument in my country. And I am so proud that 'harmonika' is first instrument that is recorded in movie.That is reason to me to give higher vote to this film in compare to other Le Prince movies. I wachted all four and I can divide his movies to 2 simple groups - good movies (Roundhay garden scene and Accordion player), and not so good movies (Traffic crossing Leeds bridge and Man walking around the corner).

I Would Like To Point Out That Because This Is 2 Seconds Long There Can't Be A Full Justification, I Mean You Can Play All Of LePrince's Movies And Still Be Reading This Review. I Would Like To Attack The Poor Picture Quality, I Know You Must Be Thinking "Jesus This Was 1888 Why The Hell Are You Being So Harsh?" The Picture Quality Is So Poor That You Can Barely See What The Hell Is Going On, With Leeds Bridge And Garden Scene The Quality Was So Much Better, This Was Made After Both Movies, The Fact That No Sound Came With This Makes It Kinda Worse. I Do Like Roundhay Garden Scene And Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge (Out Of What I Can Judge For 2 Seconds) Just Not This.

I know it's only 3 seconds long, but you can feel the rhythm and hear the whimsical tune of the accordion. If you put it on a loop, it looks like an early Shakira hip-shaking routine in the making. Quite special!In all truth, this is simply one of the very earliest examples of cinema anywhere. Along with the "Roundhay Garden Scene" and the "Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge" -- you've covered the entire year of film making in a minute! But it was a groundbreaking year, as the first motion pictures officially made their debut, and improvements have been made ever since. To me it is a remarkable feat to see so far into the past... even just a short glimpse.
