Three Ages
A wonderful variation on 'across-the-ages' films like Intolerance. Keaton explores courtship and love in the Stone Age, ancient Rome and modern times: cue countless delightfully absurd anachronisms in a none too romantic parable suggesting that plus ça change...
Paris qui dort
Clair's lovely comedy, about Paris brought to a standstill by a mad boffin with a time-stopping ray, brims with energy, as a handful of folk unaffected by the gizmo race around the city. It revels in the medium's essence as a 'moving' series of stills.
