Michael Stuhlbarg: Rene Tabard

Quotes 

• Isabelle : Professor Tabard, would you - perhaps - like to meet him?

  Rene Tabard : Oh - but you see, I have met him. My brother worked as a carpenter building sets for Méliès. One day he took me to visit the studio. It was like - something out of a dream. The whole building was made of glass. In reality, this was to let in all the sunlight necessary for filming, but to my eyes, it was nothing short of - an enchanted castle. A palace made of glass.

• Rene Tabard : Yes, you can start with the thaumatrope, the zoetrope, the praxinoscope.
