Apotheose (1895)
2/10
Forgettable epilogue
25 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
"Apotheose" is the final segment of the Skladanowsky Brothers' silent short film "Winterprogramm" that is actually a collection of several different very short films. In this one, we basically only see the 2 brothers take a bow as their program is over. It is probably the weakest part of "Wintergartenprogramm" and also compared to other films from 120 years ago, not exactly a revelation, not to say completely uninteresting. It's nice to see the duo, but there is no story, no humour (apart from the exaggeration in the title maybe), basically nothing. As a standalone-film as which it is also credited here on IMDb, it is basically worthless, it only makes slight sense in the grand scheme of "Wintergartenprogramm". Not too much though. I do not recommend the watch.
