Man Playing a Cello

8/10

"In my search for older and older "movies" I've gone past silent films which had actors, directors, a plot, and all the things we've become familiar with in movies, right to moving pictures which were more science experiments than art. Whether the idea of putting a play on film had occurred to these early cinematographers we may never know, but their early dabblings with moving pictures paved the way. "Le singe musicien" is a short animated clip of a man playing a stringed instrument. I think he's playing a cello based upon my limited knowledge of instruments..."
