Georges Méliès

…doing justice to Méliès’ seminal A Trip to the Moon is taking a little longer than planned.

But normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

(UPDATE: It’s taking a bit longer than I originally expected, thanks to the biggest hard drive crash I’ve had in years followed by my entire family being laid low by a hideous stomach bug - but I should have made a full recovery from both in the next few days)

In the meantime, here’s a selection of links about the film:

• The complete film with piano and English narration (part one/part two)
• The complete film with electronic soundtrack (part one/part two)
• BFI Film and TV Database entry.
• Internet Movie Database entry.
• Wikipedia entry.
• Filmreference.com entry (with extensive bibliography).
• Jshaide’s review (Rotten Tomatoes forum) - part one/part two
• Reviews: Culture Wars (Ion Martea); The Greatest Films (Tim Dirks)
