March Melies Madness! - The Astronomer's Dream [La lune à un mètre] (1898)

In The Astronomer's Dream (aka La lune à un mètre aka The Moon at One Meter), Georges Méliès explores the imagination and fantasies of a scientist viewing the moon. This is a pre-cursor to the more accomplished A Trip to the Moon (Le voyage dans la lune).
