Movie Picture

Le circuit de l'alcool 1912 (5.5)

This one is another warning to the French public about the dangers of alcohol. Everything seems rosy at first, but that doesn't last long. After illustrating the 'metamorphosis of money' into alcohol, the film describes the inevitable consequence - which isn't just drunkenness and unconsciousness, but insanity and death apparently.

Pour résister à la tuberculose 1918 (5.5)

3 cartoons were made in 1918 by O'Galop, the designer of Bibendum Michelin, to warn the post-war population of the ravaging effects of alcohol and tuberculosis. This public health campaign seems far removed from our present-day concerns. Over time it has acquired a different dimension.
Movie Picture

On doit le dire 1920 (7)

Mathieu and Mattéo are in the same fire station. On leave, Mathieu walks down a lively street and is whistled at by a prostitute on the balcony of a hotel room. A little bit later, Mattéo stops in front of the same hotel… Mathieu and Mattéo contract syphilis. Through the crossover portraits of the two soldiers, designer O'Galop signs a hard-hitting, funny prevention film.
