From the Earth to the Moon
Part Twelve Le Voyage Dans La Lune [final episode]
Every episode of this series has had its own distinct identity, but this is nonetheless an odd closing instalment. The documentary-style voiceover jars, even if it fits with the faked modern interviews with aged-up actors; and then there's the flashbacks to Georges Méliès making Le Voyage dans la lune, just to cement the half-thought-out juxtapositional weirdness. Strange.
