I have no idea why this film is called "Bob Kick, L'enfant Terrible". Who was Bob Kick? And, is there something special about this name? I am really curious, as I've found nothing on the internet to help me understand this.
This short film from Georges Méliès consists of what is supposed to be a bratty child (it's actually the middle-aged director himself) getting his comeuppance when all sorts of magical things happen in his room...such as heads appearing and disappearing and, ultimately, Bob disappearing at the end.
The techniques used in this film are pretty much the same ones Georges Méliès used in most of his films...so it's very familiar. For its day, it was quite good but if you're going to show anyone one of his films today, try to find one with more originality and plot.
