It's hard to judge 'Motion Picture (Employees Leaving The Lumière Factory) (1984)' by any of the standards I apply to the movies I watch. It's really just an experiment, a museum piece, a curio that's far more interesting in concept than it is in execution. Taking undeveloped frames from its eponymous iconic Lumière brothers' silent film and projecting them in sequence, the flick is essentially just a series of flickering lights and dancing shadows that sometimes vaguely resemble the silhouette of film stock. It's somehow longer than the original short it builds upon, and it's hard to engaged with on any meaningful level. The most it gets out of you is a "oh, that's cool... I guess?" and, even then, that's only when you realise what the film actually is. I don't want to come down too harshly on the experience, primarily because it's an original experiment that has some genuine intellectual value, but I can't say that I enjoyed this in the slightest. This is really only for those who truly love the technicalities of film projection.
