#112 - A Trip To The Moon (Melies, 1902)

Recently purchased the new album from Air, which also happens to be their score for this iconic bit of classic cinema, and it’s newly restored colorized version.  Now, unlike most colorized films, this was actually once done by the filmmaker himself, who hand painted each frame of his short.  Now, Air’s score is absolutely fantastic, when used in the film, but as a 40+ minute piece of music, it’s a bit odd.  Great, but odd.  Still, the film is as moving as ever, even going on 110 years of existence.

Grade - A+
