★★★★★ · how fun! · aka Shivati · 2018-01-14
This is marvelous early cinematography, lots of fun to see as I'm now listening to the audio book version again here, and about to rewatch the 1933 film. Thank you for discovering it and posting here.
★★★★ · The First Invisible Man Movie · filmscholar · 2014-08-17
Just ten years after H.G. Welles book, De Chomon provides an original work with his seemingly effortless (for the time) use of stop motion animation. An unsung master of early cinema special effects, along with Melies, he brings a greater sophistication in his narrative.
