Shadow Magic (2000). 1h 56m | PG

“A lovely little film about the introduction of motion pictures to China. Captures the amazement of filmu0026#39;s first audiences pretty much as itu0026#39;s described to have been worldwide, and uses actual Lumiere films for most of the actualities. I donu0026#39;t agree with other people about bad acting on the British fellowu0026#39;s part – I thought he was fine, but the Chinese lead really stole the show. In any case, I found myself with a smile on my face through most of the movie. People who fear subtitles might note that a lot of the film is in English (which for some reason is given subtitles as well as the Chinese on the DVD).”
