The Hallucinations of Baron Munchausen (1911) Georges Méliès

The Hallucinations of Baron Munchausen (French: Les Hallucinations du Baron de Münchausen ) is a 1911 film by • Georges Méliès
Georges Méliès , a great admirer of Rudolf Erich Raspe's book, decides to pay homage to him by making a film version of it. In this film however, the director does not follow the original story, and he only borrows from it the main character: after a large meal the famous Baron goes to bed, but his sleep is disturbed by a series of dreams and hallucinations. In this film Méliès takes the opportunity to revive all of his old repertoire of tricks and special effects;
Chapters
00:00 - Titles
00:08 - Mr. Baron has dined too well
01:38 - Sweet dreams and incoherent nightmares
10:09 - On awakening
The famous mirror scene (03:46) will also inspire the great • Max Linder for his film Seven Years Bad Luck (1921).

Quel imagination drôle et fertile pendant ces 10 minutes! Respect pour ce Méliès qui était un grand enfant et un cabotin de génie.

9:00-ish "Don't worry Baron munchausen! it's just Aleister Crowley harassing you in disguise as the moon from majora's mask!"

Delightful fantasy by The Master. And never take the brown acid.

Anticipated that classic Lucille Ball-Harpo Marx mirror routine!

He could have played it up more to show his reflection was out of sync.

Great 👍

Per fare quel genere di sogni , il barone deve aver mangiato peperonata e tiramisù.

[@iconaus]

e speriamo solo peperonata e non qualcosa di più forte

[@jackfriend4u]

is this the first depiction of the Baron M. on film?

[@iconaus]

I think so

[@jackfriend4u]

@@iconaus very cool! there should be a film collection/festival that takes in all the various Barons. there are three film versions I know of and each, though different, owes something to the previous. I wonder what a Munchausen in 2024 might look like.
