"L'auberge du bon repos" or "The Inn Where No Man Rests", which is actually the exact opposite of the French title, is a black-and-white silent short film by film pioneer Georges Méliès from 112 years ago. At 5 minutes, it runs longer than most of his other, especially early, works. The most fascinating thing about it is probably how many different genres Méliès included in here: drama, comedy, fantasy, horror... And of course, with all the trick effects, it is once again a magic show by the French master. However, the core genre here is obviously comedy, but i cannot say I found all the mayhem in here really funny. It's an okay watch once, but there is nothing too memorable about it in my opinion and I have seen many better films from Méliès. Decent watch for all who love the French filmmaker, but everybody else can do without it.
