Desperate Portrait Of Human And Masculine Nature.
Frau Suzanne und René de Romiguières are a young and happy French bourgeoisie couple who live in a "château" at the foothills of Cévennes. Herr René must go to Paris in order to properly attend to business.
Staying two days alone in a big city like Paris without your wife is certainly an excellent opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of France's capital city,... so the young marquis decide to enjoy himself by going to... ehem a cinématographe!.
During the show of "Onésime Vagabond", Herr René was deeply astonished by this "Gaumont" film production but not for its artistic merits; rather because during a scene his wife appears walking arm in arm with an unknown man! From this time forward, the monsieur le marquis will be consumed by jealousy. His state of mind worsens when his wife receives a mysterious letter in which a rendezvous with a man is arranged. Absolutely deranged by this, le marquis decide to make an attempt on his wife's life.
"Erreur Tragique" is a notorious short film directed by Herr Louis Feuillade in the silent year of 1912, in which the mastery the French director is evident regardless of the genre. The film's dramatic intensity goes "in crescendo" until a thrilling and, fortunately, happy ending that puts relief into what it is an early and desperate portrait of human and masculine nature.
The film is absolutely valid and modern today because unfortunately some things have not changed a lot since the film was made a century ago ( actually, that people are continuing marrying among themselves! ). These most primitive human impulses are still suffered today by jealous and obsessed husbands (e.g. deception, jealousy, mistrust ). Terrible consequences are seen in the film such as morbid feelings and conduct that affects and drives crazy even the most reasonable and distinguished persons. On the other hand the film is modern nowadays too in its technical aspects, film narrative and direction. Just change the elegant horse-drawn carriages for noisy automobiles, handwritten letters for modernen e-mails or viewing "Onésime Vagabond" as le monsieur le marquis does for a "Netflix" on-demand video and you'll have an absolutely contemporary film.
And now, if you'll allow me, I must temporarily take my leave because this German Count must go to Paris but not precisely in order to watch silent pictures
