1912 · 8 min Comedy
4.0 / 10 · TMDB

Funnicus is hunting, while at his home many of his friends await his return very impatiently. Suddenly he makes his appearance, his game-bag full, of newspapers. He tells his friends that he actually disdains small game, and to illustrate the story of his wondrous adventures, turns the house topsy-turvy. His wife, alarmed, advises him to go to bed and calm his excited brain. Nightmares disturb his sleep. He finds himself in Africa, traveling on camel, accompanied by many guides. He arrives at an Arab's camp and jests with the Arabian maidens who, for revenge, put out his fires in the forest the following night. The fires out, the wild beasts arrive, and he just has time to climb a tree where he is out of reach of two big lions, who wait for him at the foot of the tree. Our great Hunter courageously risks his life by descending from the tree. He tries to strangle the lion, but suddenly awakens and finds himself clutching at his wife's throat.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This 1912 short constructs a humorous contrast between bravado and reality, using a simple yet effective shift from domesticity to a phantasmagoric dream. The film relies on physical comedy and grotesque exaggeration to poke fun at masculine boasting.

What lingers after viewing is a charming glimpse into early cinema's playful spirit, where humor is conveyed through pantomime and absurd escalation. It's a gentle, whimsical relic. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Romeo Bosetti
