Bocal aux poissons rouges

In this intriguing film, the pioneering Lumières ingeniously employ a fisheye lens to immerse viewers in an unfamiliar visual experience. This type of distorting lens has often been employed by the subjective camera, offering unique perspectives that challenge objective truths. In this particular instance, the fisheye lens captures the act of shooting fish suspended within a curved bowl, providing an enchanting, otherworldly viewpoint that sets the stage for the movie's exploration of the tension between objective and subjective perception in cinema history.
