L'enfant de la barricade (1907)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
This film from Alice Guy clocks in at just over five-minutes and it's certainly one of the best that I've seen from her. In the film, a boy is out walking when he accidentally gets mixed in with some men who are fighting the revolution. Before long the group of men are attacked by the police who then see the boy and think that he's a part of what has been going on. If you like these early dramas then you'll certainly enjoy this film as Guy manages to bring some nice suspense to the story and for the most part the film was extremely well-made. I really loved the framing of the picture and especially the gun battle sequence. Just check out how well framed all of the action is. It's certainly very impressive for a film from this period.
