Métamorphoses du papillon (1904)

A definate must see for so many reasons.








From the Early Cinema File: A Butterfly’s Metamorphosis (1904), a very short film (1 minute, 23 seconds) by Gaston Velle (1872-1948), is quite a remarkable work of moving art from Pathé Brothers Company. Originally titled La métamorphose du papillon, the film shows a caterpillar turning into a butterfly and the butterfly morphing into a woman. It is a visually mesmerizing piece of work. Please treat yourself to it if you have a chance.
