It's definitely a fucking movie. So it's hard to find out which one is the original first movie, this or The Haunted Castle, but this one is similar in the case it uses jump cuts and props. The only thing that hurts this is it looks like there is a usage of black face. Obviously, it was a different time, but if we view the movie on how it is NOW, and not how it was back then, that does take some points for me.

The Four Troublesome Heads1898-11-30One of the greatest of black art pictures. The conjurer appears before the audience, with his head in its proper place. He then removes his head, and throwing it in the air, it appears on the table opposite another head, and both detached heads sing in unison. The conjurer then removes it a third time. You then see all three of his heads, which are exact duplicates, upon the table at one time, while the conjurer again stands before the audience with his head perfectly intact, singing in unison with the three heads upon the table. He closes the picture by bowing himself from the stage.More...

1944-01-01The surrealist film shows repetitive imagery involving a string fashioned in a bizarre, almost spiderweb-like pattern over the hands of several individuals, most notably an unnamed young woman and an elderly gentleman.

Considered an unfinished film.Sweet Home
