Barque sortant du port

Barque sortant du port (1895)

This Lumiere Brothers film is quite interesting o watch today thanks in large part to some terrific images and some fine camera-work. Three men are in a rowboat heading out into some violent and crashing waves while a group of women watch on a pier. Yeah, there's obviously nothing ground-breaking here but I must say that I was highly impressed with the camera-work. I'm not sure where the camera was placed but it really captured some beautiful images and especially the waves and the boat being thrown around. Another major plus is that the camera stays still and gives us a perfect look at the events.
