Max Skladanowsky is the German claimant to inventing motion pictures -- he was first in the game in Germany, at any rate. Although he did not put as long and sustained an effort as Edison in the US or Lumiere in France, he did one of the standard movies of the first decade of film: the serpentine dance, in which a woman in flowing robes with long sleeves whirls around. The IMDb lists ten films with approximately this title. It's not a bad idea, demonstrating movement and framing and admits of some interesting variations -- several efforts survive in tinted versions.
Because there are so many Serpentine Dance movies and because they are, in the end, much of a muchness, there isn't anything particularly noteworthy about this version.

Always a beauty to watch

Even though it is really disappointed to see plagiarism in the invention of cinema, which really made Germany collapsed their reputation in the film inventors.
But at least we could see some threads of changes like the dancer is revolving much vigorous than the original, and the dress she wore looks quite like later German-Expressionism style's pizazz.

1990s I think rather than 1890s
I think you will find there is something very definitely noteworthy about the film version of this that exists in that it is an entirely modern fake-up by Wim Wenders for his 1995 film Die Gebrüder Skladanowsky. As far as I am aware, the original Skladanosky film no longer exists. Clearly a must for all fans of 1990s biopics.
