While not too dissimilar to “A Trip to the Moon” (e.g. men going on an adventure), “Robinson Crusoe” is really sophisticated for a Méliès film from 1902
#SilentFlickerSunday #RobinsonCrusoe #GeorgesMelies

Prior to 2011 it was believed that “Robinson Crusoe” (1902)🇫🇷 was a mostly lost film as only a few scenes had ever been found intact. A copy of the entire film was then donated to The Cinémathèque Française film archive in Paris where it was restored

First up we have “Les Aventures de Robinson Crusoë” AKA “Robinson Crusoe” (1902)🇫🇷 (https://youtu.be/oWHtn6dr1JE?si=BeuU7T3WAtJeU-36) directed by and starring French wizard of early film Georges Méliès. It’s based on English writer Daniel Defoe's 1719 book of the same name, which can be read for free here (https://archive.org/details/cu31924011498676)

First up is the trick #SilentFilm “Le Locataire Diabolique” AKA “The Diabolic Tenant” (https://youtu.be/k2LdhpySMpA?si=jaAbJqdJPgEvMTwt) This film reflects Méliès’s frustration over his career’s financial issues. The hand colored “Le Locataire Diabolique” AKA “The Diabolic Tenant”was written, directed & stars French wizard of early film Georges Méliès and his Star Film players-including his son André Méliès.

“The Devil in a Convent” (1899) was considered lost until it was discovered by Cinémathèque Basque in 2010. It was part of a set of films originally found in a garbage bin by the donor in the mid90s.
