A guaranteed treat for fantasy buffs and students of the silent era, Méliès the Magician provides a definitive study of French film pioneer Georges Méliès (1861-1938). A special-effects innovator best known for his 1902 film A Trip to the Moon, Méliès is honored by Jacques Mény's exceptional documentary, which uses faithful reenactments, archival documents, expert interviews, and Méliès's own films to examine a life as rich as Edison's in its embrace of invention and creative ingenuity. Mény's non-chronological approach is liberating and fresh, allowing a free-form understanding of Méliès and his work, his involvement in the birth of motion pictures, and the visual trickery he developed after a thriving career as a stage illusionist. Following the documentary, "Méliès Magic Show" is hosted by Méliès's granddaughter and presents 15 Méliès films as they would've been shown in Paris at the turn of the century. Then and now, the magic of Méliès is timelessly enchanting. --Jeff Shannon
