The Countryman and the Cinematograph (1901)

1901-10-01 · 1 min · Rating 5.40/10 (44 votes)

A satire on the way that audiences unaccustomed to the cinema didn't know how to react to the moving images on a screen - in this film, an unsophisticated (and stereotypical) country yokel is alternately baffled and terrified, in the latter case by the apparent approach of a steam train.
