    The first great film.

    this can be considered the first great film. Whereas 'Sortie d'Usine' and 'Repas de Bebe' are interesting theoretically, for the ideas they provoke, and nostalgically, as the first films, for unwittingly embodying a period, a century, a sensibility long vanished, 'Demolition d'un mur' stands up on its own, offering genuine excitement.

    A group of workers, instructed by a foreman, hack away at a wall until it falls down. This film is brilliant for a number of reasons. First of all, it is possibly the first act of self-reflexivity in the cinema, the foreman barking orders to his workers mirroring the director(s) organising his crew.

    But this dream of order is thrillingly destroyed, and hierarchies abolished by a supreme act of violence. As the wall finally collapses, lumbering as Boris Karloff, a whirling storm of dust and chips swallows the scene, and the screen. The foreman, once the centre of power and order, is marginalised, pushed to the edge of the screen or off it entirely. The workers, at first mere servants, hands of the capitalist machine, become demented, and start hacking away at the wall's stump. This, a single, conservative, static set-up, overspills with energy, destruction, violence.

    That the Lumieres were a little afraid of what they had done can be seen in the trick they used at screenings of projecting the finished film backwards, so that the wall would be restored, and the old order reasserted. This is a good trick - it is a visual, special-effect; it shows cinema's triumph over mortality and the fixed; it shows that cinema, for all its claims to realism and documentary objectivity, is essentially a fantastic medium.

    But it also reassures the audience, negating the impact and implications of the scene, showing that destruction is not final, can be reversed. The revolution can be quelled. Cinema, once again, is used for conservative ends, but this time we can sense the hysteria, the sense of a medium going beyond the intentions of its makers. That irrepressible scene of whirling, all-consuming smoke was unexpected by the directors; it is a brief glimpse of the power of a cinema that is not controlled, a power rarely utilised; indeed rarely desired.

    The film also works as a compelling ghost story, the image of that single bare wall, the ruins of a former construction, a building, a room; what happened to it? What is being destroyed to feed our taste for sensation?

    The Organizing genius of Capitalism

    Although those mired in an antiquated theoretical framework may mistake this movie as a Marxian commentary on the oppression of the free worker and the destruction of useful property that rightfully belongs to the proletariat, in actuality, it is no such thing, but a paean to the organizing genius of of capitalism. It is an answer to Marx,a throwing down of the gauntlet.

    Some roustabouts are standing with sledgehammers and no idea of what to do: typical of the working class. At the command of the gang boss -- representing, as he does, the capitalist, who knows what he wants and will achieve it while paying his worker what the invisible hand of the economy will permit -- the workers, previously unmotivated, lift their hammers and destroy the wall.

    The wall, the Marxian theoretician will have us believe, represents some useful function of society. The twisting of things to the service of propaganda is apparent. The wall represents evil, a separation among society. Only through work, directed by the capitalist, will walls be destroyed and all profit.

    But there is more. The auteur retreats one step and runs the movie in reverse! At the command of capital, labor can make or unmake a wall. Clearly labor has no voice in the process. All direction comes from the capitalist.

    A surprise at the halfway point makes this a must watch for film buffs.

    'Demolition Of A Wall (1896)' depicts a work crew... demolishing a wall. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, a twist comes about halfway through that shouldn't fail to put a smile on your face. This short is, as I understand it, the first use of a specific cinematic technique which I won't spoil here. Though it's a basic trick, it certainly would've blown away audiences (especially considering they were still impressed that pictures could move in the first place). There's a bit of tension as the wall teeters on the edge of falling, and a burst of destructive glee as it collapses to the ground. Then, the thing pulls the rug out from under you and treats you to a nice visual surprise. Again, it's very basic. It's effectively unexpected, though, and gives the film its own distinct identity. Once again, it's hard to rate these pioneering pictures. Regardless of how traditionally entertaining it is, it's well worth a watch. 7/10.

    An Accident of Historic Proportions

    Demolition of a Wall (1896), is also known as, Démolition d'un Mur (1896). This film in some publications or online services have this film listed as 1895. I'm fine having this listed as 1896, because it probably was shot in 1895, but was shown to a paying audience the following winter or spring. It shows the classic film technique of discovery by accident. The film was accidentally rewound, thus giving the scene the backwards appearance, of a wall reassembling itself. It is something we don't even notice today, but was a breakthrough in film effects and editing in 1896. The shot is framed nicely and the captured moment of the wall coming down (in forward speed), along with the dust in the air, creates a essence of tangibility to the film. This is another winner from Lumiere, as they continue to astonish, with each new cinematic discovery, unfolding on the screen.

    8.7 (B+ MyGrade) = 8 IMDB.

    Walls fall and rebuild themselves

    In 1896 the projectionists could completely disregard the wishes of the cameraman and crank a film faster or slower than it was shot. This could produce an effect not intended by the filmmaker. In this case, however, the film is cranked through the projector at normal speed (16 frames-per-second) and we see four men demolishing a ten-foot masonry wall with sledge hammers, picks, and an interesting device that seems to be a hand-cranked ram used to facilitate the toppling of the wall. Having reached the end of the film; the projectionist starts cranking in reverse, at a slightly faster speed, and the wall arises from the rubble (like a phoenix from the ashes) to resume its former place.

      This film is notable for the fact it is believed to be World's First film using reverse-motion. To make the effect that the wall was rebuilding itself the traveling Lumiere cameraman would reverse the reel and play the film backwards, to astound the audience.
    • Versioni alternative
      A 2 minute version exists, showing the wall being «rebuilt», in a time-reversal effect, which corresponds to what the original projectionists achieved by playing the film back with no pause after it's end.
