"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.

Ingmar Bergman, at some points, is close to that, especially in his Magic Flute, which me, myself, think his theatre-directing style goes far more unbearable, and tedious. The part of the invention of cinema iconically imitated what a theatre ending would be like, but cinema is not theatre.

Max and Eugen Skladanowsky enter from opposite sides of the frame, bow to the audience, and exit.
There's no record I can find of the order of the films that Skladanowskis showed his audience in Berlin on November 1, 1895, but if I were doing the programming, I'd run this as the first item, before all the jugglers, acrobats, and boxing kangaroos. And then, after those movies had all been shown, I'd run it again, just to make sure that people knew who was important in this thing.
