The Electric Girl, directed by Étienne Arnaud, is a curious little gem from 1914 that mixes comedy with science fiction in an intriguing way. The premise is quite whimsical—our lead character, a girl, gets zapped with an electric charge that makes metal objects drawn to her like moths to a flame. It's fascinating to see how they play with practical effects, creating a visual spectacle that's charming in its early cinematic style. The pacing is pretty light and breezy, matching the film's comedic tone. There's an interesting theme of how technology interacts with personal identity, though it's presented in a very playful manner. It's not every day you see such a unique premise explored in silent cinema, definitely worth a look for the curious collector.
