The Hen That Laid the Golden Eggs
La Poule aux œufs d'or
1905 · 0h 13m · Fantasy · France
This has more of a clear narrative than most of the films in the set although it’s still quite odd and random compared to today’s films. There are some effectively surreal and creepy sequences in this imaginative short, such as the devil’s face appearing in an egg and spewing coins as well as the finale where our protagonist is sent to an egg-filled hell.
