This is a great compilation of Lumiere films, mostly from the 1895-1897 range. The Lumière Brothers' First Films (1996), is beautifully narrated by film director, Bertrand Tavernier. The individual films were remastered and upgraded to 1996, SD quality. The Lumière Brothers' First Films (1996), was repurposed and rereleased, twenty years later, in Lumiere (2016), which restored the films, now in the 21st century, into Blu-Ray, HD quality, with additional films added from later years into the Lumieres' career. This is a must-see film to watch, if you are going to explore the Lumiere catalogue, just interested in silent films or you are a movie-buff, looking for something from film-history, to knock off your film lists. This is a recorded time-capsule, from the first ten years of motion pictures, that actually are the first real moving images of us and the world we live in. The Lumière Brothers' First Films (1996), is an amazing collection of artifacts, that are available at our beckoning. It is also important to note, that most of these films were lost for a long time and fortunately, almost all of them were found, so enjoy this highly, recommended discovery.
