The New Air Fan

1911 · 4 min

A frantic, silly silent-era romp of chaotic slapstick motion that breezes by in a blur of harmless mayhem.

Genres
Comedy
Starring
Léontine
Overview
Titine and her family go for a fast-motion bicycle ride while enveloping the whole public sphere in their raging tornado of bodily ventilation. They knock over pedestrians, café diners, and horse-drawn carriages. Finally, they are steamrolled by the superior fan of a gas-guzzling automobile. Translated from Le Bulletin Pathé, they “are swept in turn like simple fetuses”
