剧情简介: I saw this movie -- well, I sort of saw it -- in October 2006 at the Cinema Muto festival in Sacile, Italy: possibly the first time it was publicly screened in more than a century.Here\'s one of the great George Méliès\'s very earliest films: #121 in his Star Films catalogue. Its title would translate as \'Figaro and the man of Auvergne\', the latter being a province in central France. In French folklore, the citizens of Auvergne are hot-tempered and bombastic ... and perhaps a bit too rustic. The people there continue to speak a regional dialect that has never entirely been replaced by standard French. I\'m not sure if Anne Rice was aware of those traits when she made her fictional character the vampire Lestat a native of Auvergne.The \'Figaro\' in this film is a barber, but he doesn\'t seem to be the famous barber of Seville. I don\'t know if \'Figaro\' was ever considered a traditional name for a barber -- in the same sense that all railway porters in the United States were named George -- but that\'s how the name seems to be used here.Now for the problem. A print of this long-lost film turned up in a Paris suburb in the early 1990s, but the nitrate stock in the centre of the reel had gone gummy and the frames were stuck together. It was feared, justifiably, that any attempt to separate the frames would destroy some or all of them. Finally, in 2006, PresTech Film Laboratories Ltd in London and Serge Bromberg of Lobster Films in Paris made a valiant attempt, using new restoration techniques, to separate some of the footage and transfer the images to acetate stock.What we saw at Sacile was a brief fragment of the entire film. It appears to be a crude slapstick comedy, with the Auvergnat coming to the barber\'s shop for a shave, but the incompetent barber incurring his customer\'s wrath. As I saw so little of this movie, I shan\'t rate it. I wish I had been able to view the entire film, in order to give you a more detailed report. Sadly, only a brief snippet was screened at Sacile, so this is all I can tell you. In order to tell you the entire plot, I would have to be one of those IMDb reviewers who makes up stuff!
