As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
A woman is sweeping the seashore when another woman comes by. The sweeping woman whacks the other with the broom and they get into a cat fight. A man intervenes, but the women are having too much fun. They beat him off, and go back to their cat fight.Shot with the usual impeccable composition and sense of movement that all of the Lumiere's early films had, this short comedy -- for comedy it is -- raises questions of what the film makers intended, something that is a trifle murky more than a century later. Was it intended to titillate? That seems likely. Does the man's intervention hint at a sexual encounter? Hard to say at this distance in time.
