Original Title:

A Night At The Cinema In 1914

Thrills, smiles and insights abound in this thoughtful miscellany capturing the national mood around the outbreak of the Great War. The slapsticks are a hoot, the novelties quaintly antiquated. But the newsreels poignantly capture a belle époque about to be shattered.

Strange, magical and evocative, this is one of the time-travel movies of the year.
