Più raramente, come nel caso di L’Affaire Dreyfus (1899) o L’incoronazione di Edoardo VII (1902), Méliès rinuncia al suo cinema fantastico per trattare argomenti storici o di attualità. br br br The Dreyfus Affair (French: L'affaire Dreyfus), also known as Dreyfus Court-Martial, is an 1899 series of short silent docudramas, conceived and directed by Georges Méliès. Released by Méliès's Star Film Company and numbered 206–217 in its catalogs, each of the eleven one-minute installments reconstructs an event from the historical Dreyfus affair, which was still in progress while the series was being made.
