Superstition andalouse (1912) 

*** (out of 4)

Segundo de Chomón directed this interesting French film about a young woman who begins to daydream about what she'd like to happen to the man who harmed her. At just ten-minutes this film is very much worth watching for a number of reasons. The biggest is the fact that it was hand tinted and I must say that the colors look remarkable and it's certainly one of the most impressive jobs I've seen from any film of this era. The other reason to check the film out is that it really does a nice job at letting the visuals tell the story. I found the film to be very interesting as we could zoom into the girl and then "enter" her daydream and then the camera would zoom back out once that was over. I really liked the style that de Chomon brought to the picture and there's no question that it holds your interest throughout the running time.
