'Autruches', also known as 'Promenade of Ostriches, Paris Botanical Gardens' for English-speaking people, is a strange title. I only counted one ostrich, a lot of horses with a lot of people, two elephants and a camel. Most of the animals have people on them, the ostrich pulls a cart with girls in it.
The title is strange, but of course that is the least interesting here. This is another one of those early films created by one of LumiĂšre's workers and, like all others, it has some interesting things. The fact that it is as old as it is, and being part of very early history of cinema, makes it worth watching for me. Not that a lot is happening on the screen, but for only fifty seconds I can not be bored.
