The Knight of Black Art is a 1907 French short film directed by Georges Méliès.
Sinekatalog’s take
A short Méliès trick film with a magical knight and stage-style illusions. Slight but nimbly staged, it is a tidy piece of early fantasy for fans of his visual conjuring.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
