La conquête du pôle (1912)

English title: Conquest of the Pole.
Synopsis: A scientist builds an airplane to transport him and his crew to the North Pole. Once there, he encounters a man-eating giant.
Appraisal: One of the last Méliès films; he was losing his audience fast by then. But, based on the 8 and a half minutes I saw, which are probably not the entire film, it is a good, entertaining film, with nice visuals and interesting concepts.
