In this short fragment from the German feature film, Zwei blaue Jungen, we journey to the Orient. The standout scene is eerily reminiscent of one of the great classics in movie history, though obviously the classic movie hasn’t actually been made yet. Maybe you remember? Fighter planes battling it out against a small brigade of troops on camelback in a vast expanse of desert? We’ll take you back to the future of cinema via this quite magnificent mise-en-scène from 1917.
