Recenzii
“Méliès Boots is an extremely compelling and remarkably researched contribution to cinema studies, and it brings fresh insight to the figure of Georges Méliès by situating his work deeply within the cultural and media archaeological context of his time.”
"What Solomon has adeptly done instead is to take the films – and more so the man – of George Méliès as a place to tether a history of French cultural change in the face of the
Second Industrial Revolution. . . The book’s main contribution is found in the way it characterizes for readers the array of cultural changes, symbiotically linked to the production and popularity of George Méliès’ motion pictures, that were a response to the industrial transformation of France around the turn of the last century."

"[T]his well-documented study, which includes many illustrations from private collections, offers a productive fresh look at the life and work of Georges Méliès that enriches our understanding of this unique figure’s role in early film history."
