gorgeous reconstruction of one of the first known animated films, a german expressionist masterpiece based on tales of the arabian nights. made entirely with paper cutouts! amazing!
An amazing film with an amazing animation technique. It's hard to believe that such an enchanting film was created with nothing but black paper, scissors and alot of talent.
A criminally underappreciated animation film,the beloved template of heroes,chivalry,mythical delights made by Reiniger's magic wand is more than just a bargain.Sheer enthusiasm for an hour,this classic visual landscape fills the screen with a literally poetic ambrosia.
I've seen about an hour of this film and was completely blown away by it. I must see the rest of it. A true cinematic treasure.
An amazing tale done in animation (the oldest surviving feature-length animation film) by Lotte Reiniger her silhouette style. Based on the 1001 Arabian Nights, this fantastical silent film features magic, demons, and the Chinese.
Que jodida película animación de sombras que bonito ademas los colores transmiten cada cosa a la perfección
Very interesting animation technique and worth watching for the historical value, but its simplicity gets a bit tedious for its length.
There is REAL MAGIC at work in this wonderful little film! How else could you explain a movie where all the characters and sets are paper cut-outs being so enthralling?
