Patouillard a mangé du homard

Watch Trailer

Despite the severity of his weekly adventures recently, little Bill is here to cheer us once more with his frolicsome escapades. We see him seated tete-a-tete with a very pretty girl, indulging in the luxury of a particularly magnificent lobster for dinner. It is, of course, quite inconceivable that Bill should do anything without its having some astonishing consequence, and the effect of the succulent crustacean is in nowise disappointing. Immediately he finishes his repast, Bill is seized with most alarming spasms, and then, apparently taking on the habits of the shellfish he devoured, commences to walk backwards out of the room. Tripping up at the top of the stairs, he falls down headforemost and then leaps backward into the street, where he seeks refuge in a waiting carriage.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor from a single absurd premise, relying entirely on physical slapstick and escalating visual gags to carry the narrative. What lingers after the final backward leap is the sheer joy of silent-era inventiveness, where consequence follows consumption in the most literal, hilarious way.

Those who tire of overly complicated plots will find delight in this straightforward, energetically silly escapade. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Romeo Bosetti
