His other films included comedies, trick films,[7] or fairy tales, such as Les Sept châteaux du Diable, both 1901, and La Belle au bois dormant in 1902, as well as social dramas like Les Victimes de l'alcoolisme (1902), Au pays noir (1905) and reconstructions of actual events, the most famous being La Catastrophe de la Martinique (1902).[4] PlotDuring a home invasion, a bank employee, is sleeping when stabbed by a burglar. The next day the burglar, an out-of-work carpenter is arrested at a café while spending lavishly on wine. He is put on trial and found guilty. While the burglar is being held in prison, he sees a series of flashbacks on his cell wall, depicting him as an honest workman with a happy home life but he soon begins to drink heavily. Becoming a burglar, he descends further into crime, finally committing a murder. As the day of execution arrives, the executioners cut his hair off and a priest performs an expiation. The burglar is led to the guillotine and is executed. Cast
ProductionHistoire d'un crime is stylistically innovative in its use of superimposition of images. The story was of a man condemned to death, awaiting execution with his crimes appearing on his cell wall. The film is also an early example of flashbacks as a film device.[8] The realism that was portrayed led to the film being stopped before the final execution scene to allow women and children to leave the theatre. Later, French authorities censored the film and required that the scene be entirely removed.[1]ReferencesNotes1. ^1 Lanzoni 2004, p. 42. 2. ^Schwartz 1999, p. 146. 3. ^Rège 2009, p. 1026. 4. ^1 Austin 1996, p. 3. 5. ^Fairservice 2002, p. 28. 6. ^Doane 2002, p. 17. 7. ^Paris 1995, p. 11. 8. ^:The rise of French cinema." brevestoriadelcinema.
