Gueule de bois

The story unfolds as the clock strikes midnight in Montmartre, where a devil emerges from a puddle of rum. This devil, eager to entertain, invites various whimsical characters from the depths of refuse to join his gala. The atmosphere is charged with a sense of mischief and revelry, as puppets and remnants of celebrations are drawn to the spectacle.

At the center of the festivities is a jazz orchestra, featuring an old accordion player that adds a lively soundtrack to the evening's events. The film combines elements of animation with a rich visual narrative that reflects the quirky charm of the era and location. Gueule de bois stands out for its creative depiction of nightlife and the unconventional characters that populate it, making it an interesting piece for collectors of animated works from the mid-20th century.
