After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

This film is the last surviving film experiment by Louis Aime Augustin le Prince and it is not as restored beautifully as the directer's previous films, "Roundhay Garden Scene" and "Traffic Crossing the Leeds Bridge". But, despite the poor restoration, we still do know who the person playing the accordion is: Adolphe le Prince, the director's son. The film lasts two seconds so don't expect a plot but, considering the time, this film deserves an 7 at least.As some people have been saying, Adolphe le Prince, while playing, appears to be joyful and happy. He walks while he plays, in front of a house that appears to be quite old-fashioned and fancy looking, so there is more to look at than just the player himself. Other than the fact that this is one of the first true films, there is nothing ground-breaking about this short, except maybe the fact that it is the first film showing a musical instrument.

I've written in other reviews about the enormous meaning of Le Prince's films since he was the first movie maker ever, also I have mentioned that his mysterious disappearance caused that most of his work went missing and therefore we only know small fragments of his movies, after mentioning this there is little left to say about Accordion Player. This is the third of the four surviving Le Prince films, and as the other, due to the fact that we are watching the first steps of cinematography, it also means we have things that had never happened before, in this case the first leading role in a movie.The few seconds of film shows us Le Prince's son, Adolphe, playing an accordion at the entry of his house (the same we can see in Roundhay Garden Scene?), that means this single character occupies all the screen time and so he plays the leading role that no one in Roundhay Garden Scene can claim. The young man looks happy while playing and he dances to the sound of a melody we will regretfully never hear. As the other Le Prince films, this is not spectacular and will only interest those of us that really love cinema and its history. But as the inventor of film I think all Le Prince work deserves to be watched and enjoyed, it is always great to see how everything started.

I Would Like To Point Out That Because This Is 2 Seconds Long There Can't Be A Full Justification, I Mean You Can Play All Of LePrince's Movies And Still Be Reading This Review. I Would Like To Attack The Poor Picture Quality, I Know You Must Be Thinking "Jesus This Was 1888 Why The Hell Are You Being So Harsh?" The Picture Quality Is So Poor That You Can Barely See What The Hell Is Going On, With Leeds Bridge And Garden Scene The Quality Was So Much Better, This Was Made After Both Movies, The Fact That No Sound Came With This Makes It Kinda Worse. I Do Like Roundhay Garden Scene And Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge (Out Of What I Can Judge For 2 Seconds) Just Not This.

I know it's only 3 seconds long, but you can feel the rhythm and hear the whimsical tune of the accordion. If you put it on a loop, it looks like an early Shakira hip-shaking routine in the making. Quite special!In all truth, this is simply one of the very earliest examples of cinema anywhere. Along with the "Roundhay Garden Scene" and the "Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge" -- you've covered the entire year of film making in a minute! But it was a groundbreaking year, as the first motion pictures officially made their debut, and improvements have been made ever since. To me it is a remarkable feat to see so far into the past... even just a short glimpse.
