Wonderful character development!

Admirable film.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
"Kamarinskaja" is a German movie by the Skladanowsky Brothers from 120 years ago. It runs for roughly half a minute and shows a trio of Russian brothers dancing a traditional work. By today's standards, it is fairly bland and uninteresting, but keeping in mind that it is from the very early years of film by the first German filmmakers, it is an okay watch and honestly at that runtime you also cannot really go that wrong. Not a must-see by any means, but okay checking out for everybody with an interest in these very old silent classics if you have seen almost everything else. And the people in here also look as if they are having a pretty great time and enjoy being "movie stars". So it's okay I guess, just not for general audiences.
