This is a tip that you can give basically everybody who works in a creative profession, but the composer that Georges Méliès plays in this 3-minute, black-and-white silent short film takes it as literally as it gets. "Le mélomane" or "The Melomaniac" or "The Music Lovers" was made by Méliès shortly after his 40th birthday, pretty much in the middle of his career. In my opinion, there are better and worse short films from the early 20th century out there. Still, I have to say I was not too impressed by this movie here. The comedy quickly disappears after the heads are on top and everything afterward is fairly forgettable. Still, it's one of the more known Méliès works, so I thought why not give it a chance. Slightly disappointing and I won't recommend it.
