The Kiriki: Japanese Acrobats, by Segundo de Chomón, 1907, Japan, colour, silent, 2:40 min.
Segundo de Chomón's tumblers, human pyramid virtuosos, hobble along but their somersaults fall a little flat. And once the 'trick' is disclosed, the capers reveal themselves to be a bluff. But what skill! The buffoonery is far from ridiculous.
Chomón is an editor, and he masters effects and splicing marvelously. The film is back in its original splendour. It will turn you upside down.
