The Weird World of Eadweard Muybridge dives deep into the life of a fascinating figure whose work bridged photography and early cinema. The documentary paints a vivid picture of Muybridge as a complex man - part visionary, part flawed human. It explores his groundbreaking experiments with motion that captured the essence of movement in ways never seen before. The pacing is reflective, allowing the viewer to soak in both the technical brilliance and the personal drama, including his infamous murder trial. It's a bit of a rabbit hole, honestly, with layers of Victorian eccentricity and the interplay between art and technology. You get a real sense of the man behind the camera and the atmosphere of the time he lived in.
