Again, this film is only really interesting from the perspective of history, not entertainment nor art. In fact, specifically this film shows the limited experimentation the creators had when it shows a mostly out-of-focus image of movement upwards through the Eiffel Tower. It doesn't really give a lot of information or show the surrounding area well enough to be a completely successful experiment in what the makers were trying to do.
However, it is a very early dolly shot, so to speak, and that counts for something. Furthermore, I can't help but point out the importance of the Eiffel Tower towards modernity and industry, and how those tie into the development of film as a whole. Early film was often concerned with machinery, mostly because early film was machinery. A lot of these images we take for granted are a key part of the Industrial Revolution, and this film helps recognize that aspect.
