Movies and TvShows featuring "pan-dissolve" theme.

Tony Takitani is a solitary man who discovers the love of his life only to lose her. He is haunted by the memories of their time together and becomes obsessed with a woman who looks exactly like her. As he tries to recreate their relationship, he realizes the futility of his actions and the emptiness of his existence.

Georges Méliès (1861-1938), cinema pioneer. A first-person narration traces Méliès' early interests in drawing and magic shows. He builds a studio and constructs his own camera-projector, recruits dancers from the opera and actors from the cinema to make a variety of films that tell whole stories: histories, dramas, documentaries, and ads. He moves from farce into sophisticated comedies, developing cinematic tricks (dissolves, split screens, and double exposure) to create artificially-arranged scenes. Then, the cinema passes him by, and he lives the last years of his life in poverty, selling toys out of a shop near the Montparnasse train station, with Jeanne d'Alcy his star.
