Never shown in theaters
When Paul Vecchiali adapts one of the stories from Potocki’s The Manuscript Found in Saragossa, he decides to stick closely to the original text and its structure, the intradiegetic narrator’s omnipresent voice-overs entwined with those of the main protagonist. He perfectly manages to capture the work’s recursive dimension. Visually, he mixes Bava-like baroque, abstract visions, theatrical distancing and photo sequences in the style of Chris Marker. And it’s fascinating.

"There were three prominent televised events during the first seven months of 1969. The elections, Napoleon’s bicentennial, and the first Moonwalk. But what got TV viewers to write, rant, and fight, was …Faber!” wrote C. Carrey from Télérama. So here’s this anomaly, this totally delirious TV madness that reminds us that in the same era Jean-Christophe Averty experimented and The Shadoks pumped. It's no surprise that Claude Pieplu was invited into this joke and novelty shop called Magica. Henri Petit-Garin (Gérard Lartigau) must, for the shop’s centennial, sell a new useless but indispensable gadget: the deca-use, that can serve as a TV antenna, a field glass or a chandelier. But we’ve already said too much…
