The brilliance of La folie du Docteur Tube [The Madness of Dr. Tube] (1915) is its use of practical in-camera effects that makes us, the viewer, experience the hallucinogen. This little folly by the great Abel Gance features Albert Dieudonné in a small part, who later would again work with Gance in his Napoleon (1927), as Napoléon Bonaparte.</p><p>Now take a nice deep breath here (trust me, I'm a doctor): <a href="https://cinemathequefr.github.io/henri/film/48677-la-folie-du-docteur-tube-abel-gance-1915/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cinemathequefr.github.io/henri</span><span class="invisible">/film/48677-la-folie-du-docteur-tube-abel-gance-1915/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/cinema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cinema</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/France" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>France</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/AbelGance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbelGance</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/S%C3%A9verinMars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SéverinMars</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/AlbertDieudonn%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlbertDieudonné</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/laboratory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>laboratory</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/comedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comedy</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/SilentFilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFilm</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/FilMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FilMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/CineMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CineMastodon</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://c.im/@bales1181" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bales1181</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/film" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>film</span></a></span> <a href="https://letterboxd.com/12pt9/list/bales2023filmchallenge/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">letterboxd.com/12pt9/list/bale</span><span class="invisible">s2023filmchallenge/</span></a></p>
