Plots(1)

The episode of Colonel Henry’s suicide was famous for its bloody scene, in which the main protagonist slits his throat, and it’s not the only period gore film in Georges Méliès' filmography. More of such films can be found and can be associated with various genres. So far, the director has not changed the concept of the scene, faithfully following theatrical tradition. Only one setting corresponds to each episode. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
