About the film: Les Kiriki - Acrobates Japonais

Les Kiriki - Acrobates Japonais
Ki Ri Ki - Japanese acrobats
Year: 1907

Segundo de Chomón’s tumblers, human pyramid virtuosos, hobble along but their somersaults fall a little flat. Chomón is an editor, and he masters effects and splicing marvelously. And once the “trick” is disclosed, the capers reveal themselves to be bluff. But what skill! A buffoonery far from ridiculous.

The film is back in its original splendour. It will turn you upside down.
