great designs
9 June 2023
After a night of hard drinking, Baron Munchausen is brought to bed by his servants. He has a series of bizarre dreams and nightmares. He wakes up outside hung by his iron fence as his servants gather to help him.

This is a French silent short film directed by Georges Méliès. It's almost a decade after his iconic A Trip to the Moon. I really love some of the costumes, the set designs, and a few of the transitions. This doesn't have many of the Baron Munchausen story's most memorable scenes. He doesn't ride a cannon ball. On the other hand, this has other imagines. I really like the dragon and the moon. The camera is stationary which leaves the screen confined. It's still a fun silent short, but it was probably not pushing any envelopes back in the day.
