Le straordinarissime avventure di Saturnino Farandola (1914)

These 'Extraordinary Adventures' are intended to be in the Jules Verne style, and the film even has one of Verne's characters in it. It is not very remarkable but I suppose it could please children, though of course the only children that could be interested in it have grown up and are now very old or dead. If you turn your critical judgement off, I guess you could go through it painlessly, as I have. It is pacy enough and the visuals are at times quite pretty. Camerawork is also rather advanced for its time. The weak point of the movie is the plot, which is uninvolving and does not make sense much of the time.
