Icon Icon Opinion :

George Méliès’ work has served as a model for many film-makers. Because it is the combination of science and art, reality and illusion, fantasy and imagination… This book deals with Méliès’ central and fantastic work. He was the inventor of modern cinema and special effects. In short, the father of the cinema of the impossible.
