L'Amazone

About This Movie

L'Amazone is quite an interesting piece from 1878, blending early animation techniques with a whimsical take on movement and form. The tone feels playful, almost dreamlike, and the pacing is typical of its time – slow and deliberate, which adds to its charm. The atmosphere is light, filled with a sense of exploration, though we miss out on a clear narrative due to its age. It's fascinating how the practical effects were achieved, relying heavily on hand-drawn techniques that give it a unique texture. There’s not much known about the director, which adds an air of mystery to the film, but its distinct visual style certainly speaks for itself.

L'Amazone is a rare gem in the animation landscape, with its format being one of the earliest examples of moving pictures. It’s not often you come across this title in collector circles, making it quite a treasure for those interested in animation history. Given its scarcity, it tends to attract collectors focused on the roots of animated storytelling, and also those who appreciate the craftsmanship of early cinema.
