Bataille de boules de neige (AKA Snowball Fight)
Dir: Louis Lumiere
1897
*****
Another great example of the Brothers Lumiere capturing life in the 1890's. This short film is funny, exciting and full of character and it really captures a wonderful moment (a Snowball Fight) in history and in-explicitly reveals exactly why the motion picture was invented. I'd love to see Alice Guy's 1900 version.
