La Liberté d'une statue

La Liberté d'une statue (1990)

Sometime long ago, probably a few years before moving picture photography was supposed to have been invented, a woman named Anne (Lucille Fluet) is discovered to have miraculous powers. She can magically transform ordinary objects when she sneezes. She has even brought the dead back to life. We know about her, because she sneezed a movie camera into existence, and the film was (miraculously, of course) preserved in the Egyptian desert. However, she didn't live so long ago that she wasn't hounded by life insurance salesmen, just like everyone else in the modern era. Rather than being outcaste for her abilities, she is valued by a group of science-oriented men, who also manage to record on a sneezed-into-existence phonograph the sound which is later to be added to the film by its "discoverers."

Interesting facts

The Moving Statue is a Canadian drama film, directed by Olivier Asselin and released in 1990. An experimental black-and-white film inspired by the silent film era, the film is presented as an old Egyptian silent film that has just recently been rediscovered, and is being translated to the viewing audience by means of a deaf lip reader whose sign language is in turn translated by the narrator; the silent film itself depicts the story of a young woman wandering in the desert, who attracts unwanted attention after she miraculously resurrects a man who had been turned to stone.
