Watch TrailerThe short by Jean Durand begins with his frequent character, Zigoto (Lucien Bataille) reading a boring book. So, instead he goes on an outing in his new car with his friends. The captioning says it's a new '101 horsepower car'--this, during an age when the horsepower of cars actually was between 4-30 horsepower! So, in other words, it's supposed to be a super-fast car.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The short film constructs its humor around the exaggerated premise of a '101 horsepower car' in an era of much simpler automobiles. Director Jean Durand relies on this visual and textual gag to propel a series of brisk, absurd escapades with his recurring character.
What lingers after viewing is the charm of early cinematic innocence, where a simple joke about speed fuels pure, uncomplicated joy. — MovieFinder Editorial
