Georges Méliès — Roger-Viollet

A black-and-white film still showing the Moon depicted as a large human face with expressive features — eyes, a nose, and an open mouth — occupying most of the frame. A cylindrical rocket or projectile is embedded directly in the Moon's right eye. A dark starry sky forms the background.
