Of the 531 films Melies made, we've only got about 200. What happened to the rest? The French Army melted them down in 1917 to make Army boots. And the rest, Melies himself burned the negatives in a fit of rage. And when I watch this - just a single minute - thinking about that level of loss makes me sad.
