00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:03,400
THE GALLERY OF MONSTERS has been restored
in 4K by the laboratory of the CNC
2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:04,900
from the original film negative.
3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,400
An original nitrate copy from the
collections of the Cinémathèque Française
4
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:09,900
was used as a reference for: tinting,
the composition of certain intertitles,
5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,416
and the absence of very short
fragments of images.
6
00:00:15,291 --> 00:00:18,875
50 years of heritage at the CNC
7
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:42,916
A film directed by,
and starring, Jacque-Catelain
8
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:53,541
THE GALLERY OF MONSTERS
9
00:01:44,458 --> 00:01:57,166
There is a winter twilight over Castile,
a village lost in the Sierra...
10
00:03:02,875 --> 00:03:08,291
Lonely orphan Ofelia...
11
00:03:35,375 --> 00:03:41,416
...camped in these ruins,
nomadic gypsies...
12
00:03:52,083 --> 00:03:59,983
"For sure, we've tarried here too long...
the time of the festivals is near
13
00:04:00,083 --> 00:04:05,083
...TOMORROW, we'll head south!...."
14
00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:37,333
One who follows them only with regret,
15
00:04:37,433 --> 00:04:45,916
bound to them by an oath
of which the tribe makes a law.
16
00:07:15,083 --> 00:07:19,049
A great love, from as far away as they,
17
00:07:19,149 --> 00:07:26,541
has brought together these two children
who everything keeps apart...
18
00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:47,332
"At dawn, we have to leave...
19
00:07:47,432 --> 00:07:55,041
Now that I know you, I no longer
have the heart to follow them...”
20
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,900
“Here, without you,
it would be too sad...
21
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,041
take me with you...
I'll die if you leave me!...”
22
00:08:39,958 --> 00:08:43,558
"...we could be so happy here!
23
00:08:43,758 --> 00:08:47,758
Let's ask your grandfather
again for his consent...
24
00:08:47,858 --> 00:08:52,541
He'd protect us from them..."
25
00:11:02,458 --> 00:11:06,958
“I swear, it's to get married
to stay here...
26
00:11:07,058 --> 00:11:10,333
Close to you...”
27
00:13:37,208 --> 00:13:40,108
"You want to follow me, you said?...
28
00:13:40,208 --> 00:13:44,792
...So, let's leave tonight
we'll stay well hidden...
29
00:13:44,892 --> 00:13:50,291
We'll go quickly....
We'll find happiness further on...."
30
00:16:59,583 --> 00:17:04,916
"Will you let us say goodbye
to my "Holy Virgin?"
31
00:18:18,583 --> 00:18:22,083
They saw the Virgin of Sorrows smiling...
32
00:18:22,183 --> 00:18:28,917
And their naive hearts believed
that, in the absence of the priest,
33
00:18:29,017 --> 00:18:33,416
she married them, herself, forever...
34
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:39,875
They were leaving without fear...
35
00:19:39,975 --> 00:19:45,916
...They felt nothing
but the joy of their love
36
00:20:39,208 --> 00:20:46,708
And then...
Some years later in old Toledo...
37
00:21:03,583 --> 00:21:10,666
...a cavalcade parading through
the city on its feast day...
38
00:21:36,958 --> 00:21:43,958
...announced the unexpected arrival
of a "great attraction"
39
00:21:44,058 --> 00:21:48,833
a fairground: the Buffalo carnival...
40
00:23:39,041 --> 00:23:43,083
And that evening
41
00:24:31,625 --> 00:24:34,416
the carnival begins
42
00:24:44,375 --> 00:24:52,208
“Roll up!
Ladies and Gentlemen
Roll up!...”
43
00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:37,333
Wife of the brutal director, Buffalo,
the humble Madame Violette
44
00:25:48,208 --> 00:25:52,041
Kiki, the Indian temple dancer
45
00:26:22,083 --> 00:26:28,916
Flossie the "American" dancer
46
00:27:19,083 --> 00:27:30,916
"Now ladies you will see Buffalo, the
renowned Buffalo, terror of the beasts"
47
00:28:08,958 --> 00:28:15,700
"In the intermission, gentlemen,
visit the "gallery of monsters",
48
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:22,684
the most famous human phenomena...
the most evocative: the mermaid,
49
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:29,583
the half-man, half-woman, the giantess...
Here is her shoe...”
50
00:28:52,333 --> 00:29:00,666
"...come in...come in...
you will see the graceful Ralda..."
51
00:29:06,083 --> 00:29:11,383
...and Riquett's
the king of laughter
52
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:16,916
in the famous pantomime
“Facing the Beasts”
53
00:29:29,083 --> 00:29:36,791
Turmoil -
Riquett's and Ralda are not there!
54
00:30:12,083 --> 00:30:16,483
Through sheer hard work,
"Riquett's" and "Ralda"
55
00:30:16,583 --> 00:30:20,983
have become the stars
of this wandering troupe,
56
00:30:21,083 --> 00:30:25,483
despite the misery,
the jealousies of others, the hardships,
57
00:30:25,583 --> 00:30:32,083
they have kept their love unchanged,
as pure as the snow where it was born
58
00:30:57,625 --> 00:31:01,625
A child was born, their only joy...
59
00:31:01,725 --> 00:31:10,583
Today he is sick and, for him,
they forget everything else...
60
00:32:10,250 --> 00:32:15,250
“...you'll have to stop fussing
over your chicks like a mother hen"
61
00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:21,333
I'm the master, you hear me,
and this has to change!"
62
00:32:23,958 --> 00:32:32,541
"and if Riquett's protests...
-I know people who are looking for him..."
63
00:32:43,250 --> 00:32:49,791
Flossie, a devious girl,
has a taste for conquests
64
00:32:52,750 --> 00:32:55,950
"Always mollycoddling!...
65
00:32:56,050 --> 00:33:02,166
You missed your turn,
the boss is furious".
66
00:35:11,958 --> 00:35:13,916
Sveti, a false friend
67
00:35:20,625 --> 00:35:28,291
"...say Ralda...
you wouldn't have a towel to pass me?..."
68
00:35:50,833 --> 00:35:56,583
“Come on Sveti, behave yourself...
Go and get dressed!”
69
00:36:16,375 --> 00:36:18,275
Buffalo, whom everyone hates,
70
00:36:18,375 --> 00:36:21,666
is too hard on Riquett's
and too obliging to Ralda.
71
00:36:35,208 --> 00:36:38,208
"...I warn you, if this carries on...
72
00:36:38,308 --> 00:36:43,166
It won't be long before
we're out of here."
73
00:36:49,958 --> 00:36:55,541
"I'm not stopping you,
but she... she stays!"
74
00:37:14,208 --> 00:37:16,108
"Take care of it, Pirouette...
75
00:37:16,208 --> 00:37:20,083
ask him for change, bring him back...
let him leave them be..."
76
00:38:00,708 --> 00:38:08,708
In the midst of these monstrous beings,
who do everything to separate them,
77
00:38:08,808 --> 00:38:16,041
Riquett's and Ralda have only
the consolation of the past.
78
00:38:57,125 --> 00:39:00,041
"...now
...what a life!"
79
00:40:27,083 --> 00:40:31,291
"And the little one?
Is he any better?..."
80
00:40:34,208 --> 00:40:41,916
“Yes, but we'll still have to leave,
This can't go on."
81
00:40:54,333 --> 00:40:57,458
At last: Riquett's!
82
00:41:55,875 --> 00:42:01,833
"You shouldn't lurk about too often...
it would turn out badly!”
83
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,708
And while Riquett's is
dancing in Flossie's arms...
84
00:45:49,708 --> 00:45:54,708
“Don't worry, old man,
what I do is for your benefit,
85
00:45:54,808 --> 00:46:00,333
when you're not there
I keep an eye on him.”
86
00:46:51,625 --> 00:46:57,291
Later the performance comes to life.
87
00:47:53,958 --> 00:47:59,458
Now Buffalo presents his protégé...
88
00:49:24,500 --> 00:49:29,000
"I'm telling you, we
have to leave everything,
89
00:49:29,100 --> 00:49:34,916
otherwise there will be misfortune...
...We have to go..."
90
00:52:05,208 --> 00:52:08,666
"He's got to go..."
91
00:52:30,750 --> 00:52:36,750
"We're all tired of putting up with him,
and so are you of course...
92
00:52:36,850 --> 00:52:40,916
And Ralda even more!
...so..."
93
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,583
...help me...”
94
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,916
“Oh! No... Not that,
Madame Violette ...not that!”
95
00:53:31,958 --> 00:53:36,458
"it's time for you to decide,
96
00:53:36,558 --> 00:53:41,541
Is it yes?...
Or is it no?"
97
00:53:44,375 --> 00:53:48,958
“No, of course not,
never... never!”
98
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,000
"Come on! Don't be sad,
come and help me,
99
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:39,041
here's the intermission, it's time
for me to become a phenomenon!”
100
00:55:58,083 --> 00:56:03,583
The gallery of monsters where the
announced attractions are getting ready:
101
00:56:03,683 --> 00:56:06,541
The giantess and her husband...
102
00:56:40,333 --> 00:56:42,541
The torso-woman...
103
00:56:56,958 --> 00:56:59,708
The bearded lady...
104
00:57:06,708 --> 00:57:12,708
And Pirouette, now a mermaid
105
00:57:38,833 --> 00:57:47,041
"As I've told you before,
you're a fool to be faithful to her..."
106
00:58:14,250 --> 00:58:22,750
“when it's not with Buffalo, it's
with him that she deceives you...
107
00:58:22,850 --> 00:58:27,291
You're the only one who
doesn't know anything about it.”
108
01:03:37,708 --> 01:03:41,916
"if you say one single word, I'll..."
109
01:05:46,750 --> 01:05:51,291
"you...find a doctor, hurry!"
110
01:06:15,083 --> 01:06:19,290
"Riquett's...if you only knew"
111
01:06:55,125 --> 01:06:59,725
“...who cares how she is,
112
01:06:59,825 --> 01:07:05,041
What I want is not to give any refunds
...understand?”
113
01:07:09,958 --> 01:07:13,158
"the accident isn't serious,
114
01:07:13,258 --> 01:07:18,166
Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen:
The show will go on!"
115
01:08:17,250 --> 01:08:22,291
"Riquett's has to perform.
Convince him."
116
01:08:47,125 --> 01:08:50,666
“If not, you know, I'll have something
to take him to task over...”
117
01:09:25,458 --> 01:09:30,208
Madame Violette
tells a white lie
118
01:09:34,750 --> 01:09:38,750
"If you perform...
he promised to give me money...
119
01:09:38,850 --> 01:09:42,958
To treat her
...to cure her..."
120
01:10:08,083 --> 01:10:14,083
"And now you will applaud
the merry Riquett's
121
01:10:14,183 --> 01:10:19,291
in the pantomime
“Facing the Beasts”
122
01:10:24,583 --> 01:10:29,041
"Come on, be brave
...we're waiting for you!"
123
01:11:16,958 --> 01:11:22,041
"if the doctor comes,
have him wait for me..."
124
01:11:31,458 --> 01:11:35,958
"...and then if it doesn't go well,
understand...
125
01:11:36,058 --> 01:11:39,166
you're to come and get me!”
126
01:12:40,583 --> 01:12:46,583
"In the middle of the desert
a weary explorer (Riquett's)
127
01:12:46,683 --> 01:12:53,208
and his coquettish companion..."
128
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:10,208
They are about to eat.
129
01:13:19,833 --> 01:13:23,208
...when a monkey
130
01:13:44,375 --> 01:13:47,416
and a lion
131
01:15:23,458 --> 01:15:26,958
"is the doctor coming?...
132
01:15:27,058 --> 01:15:32,041
- Who cares...
it'd be better if she passed away..."
133
01:16:04,833 --> 01:16:12,666
"I assure you...
A minor accident, a simple accident..."
134
01:17:25,500 --> 01:17:32,416
"Simple accident of no consequence...
So, it's alright!"
135
01:19:22,458 --> 01:19:29,166
"You are too late
...your beloved, it's over..."
136
01:21:40,083 --> 01:21:42,791
"Go away..."
137
01:22:44,750 --> 01:22:52,250
The doctor reassured Riquett's that
Ralda's injuries were not dangerous.
138
01:22:52,350 --> 01:22:57,250
And a little later, that night...
139
01:23:30,833 --> 01:23:38,208
And while in the calm of sleep
Riquett's dreams...
140
01:25:22,458 --> 01:25:25,666
Soon after...
141
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:15,166
"He's sleeping....very soundly
It's time... Hurry..."
142
01:26:37,500 --> 01:26:42,083
Little by little, in silence,
everyone...
143
01:28:27,083 --> 01:28:36,791
"If you are too unhappy here,
come and join us in the village."
144
01:28:48,958 --> 01:28:54,291
"Well...say goodbye to me anyway..."
145
01:29:40,500 --> 01:29:42,791
But...
146
01:30:13,500 --> 01:30:18,791
"catch up with them
...and bring them back to me."
147
01:30:23,208 --> 01:30:25,708
NO!
148
01:30:29,708 --> 01:30:37,291
They're gone... Madame Violette no
longer has any reason to remain silent
149
01:30:42,083 --> 01:30:47,541
"that man is a monster
...a murderer..."
150
01:31:14,833 --> 01:31:24,416
While under arrest Madame Violette,
exhausted but happy, thinks back...
151
01:31:35,583 --> 01:31:42,416
...to those who are moving on
and whose happiness she has safeguarded
