    Where's the sequel?

    Honestly, man walking around the corner was a pretty good film, speaking as a film critic. Watched it back in the 1880's with my family, pumped for the premiere. Was not disappointed. It's exactly what it says on the tin, and to be honest, the titular man walking around the corner is a pretty endearing character and his arc of walking around the corner is pretty interesting and well developed. Overall, this film is a solid watch and I would definitely recommend checking it out. 9/10 please pick it up when you get the chance (unfortunately no streaming services have this film)

    Deserves More Attention

    It may have been 9 years since the last movie, but Louis le Prince was a good director and had a great debut film

    Not the first film, but Le Prince had the right idea

    Louis Le Prince, motion picture pioneer, took 16 photos, one each from a different lens on his special made camera, of a man rounding a corner in Paris. The 16 images were combined to produce the effect of a motion picture one second in length of the man turning the corner. The following year Le Prince would develop a one lens camera that operated on a similar principle and make what is now considered the first film - "Roundhay Garden Scene".

    Le Prince would disappear mysteriously on his way to America in 1890, never to be seen again. The book "The Missing Reel" deals with the mystery and what might have happened to him. The documentary "The First Film" discusses Le Prince's work in the invention of motion pictures.

    Oldest movie ever

    First, I must admit that I never heard about Louise Le Prince before I went in search for a oldest movie ever recorded. I heard about many movie pioneers, but never for Le Prince.

    Now, I am very happy that i saw oldest movie ever recorded and I must recommend all people who want see this movie to watch it in slow motion (you can find slow motion version on YT), and you can find a version with all 16 frames remastered there (some versions have only 13 frames - two lost, one bad quality). Also, my recommendation is to find and read on internet about this movie and Le Prince, and you will find very interesting story.

    Nice attempt

    Stuff like this happends all the time (walking around a corner). What people probably didn't notice: the pigeon peaking from the storm drain. Not too much is known about that! But burt canyon (a young tester) has been doing the research. Hes been in a hotel room 134 days filling it with post-its that all say: 'hidden reasons.'

    • Trivia
      As it proved in David Wilkinson's " The First Film " it is not film, but a series of photographs, 16 in all, each taken from one of the lens from Le Prince's camera. As this was a failure, Le Prince went on to develop the one lens camera, and on the 14th October 1888, he finally made the world's first moving image.
