3.7 / 10 · TMDB

One of the first animated short films. A wanderer enters a cabaret in the countryside and asks a waitress for a beer. She comes back with a pint, as the wanderer begins to court her. However, the kitchen boy comes, drinks the beer and vanishes. The wanderer, misunderstanding, asks for another beer. Then a traveler enters and has an argument with the wandered. During the argument, the kitchen boy appears, sips the second beer and runs away. As the traveler quits, the customer finds his glass empty again. He calls the waitress, expresses his disappointment and leaves. The kitchen boy comes in and explains to the waitress what he did with the two beers. They make fun together of the wanderer and leave. A lost film.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film exists at its own rhythm. Doesn't rush the viewer, doesn't suggest how to react — trusts its own material.

If the genre speaks to you — worth watching. If not — not the most obvious choice, but a pleasant surprise isn't impossible.

For those who appreciate genre cinema made with intelligence and without snobbery.

Director: Émile Reynaud
