Dir: René Clair (France) 103m
Le Fantôme du Moulin-Rouge is another of Clair’s comic fantasies. Based on a novel by Walter Schlee, a young man unhappy in love agrees to be hypnotised by a performer at the Moulin Rouge nightclub. His freed spirit (the Phantom) goes on a mischievous escapade around the city, but he has to return to his comatose body to save the mesmerist from being charged with his murder. Along the way he foils a blackmail plot that had forced his girlfriend to agree to marry another.
This screening is part of Bristol Ideas’ #BristolFilm2021 Paris Season, in collaboration with South West Silents. It is presented as part of Opening Up the Magic Box, a heritage element of Film 2021 which marks the centenary of the death of Bristol-born film pioneer William Friese-Greene and the 125th anniversary of the first public cinema screening in Bristol, which took place at the Tivoli on 8 June 1896, as well as celebrating Bristol – a UNESCO City of Film since 2017.
