La Folie du docteur Tube is a 1915 short silent experimental film directed by Abel Gance, in which a scientist takes a white powder, and then hallucinates. Gance shows the man's hallucinations by using a series of distorting lenses on the camera. A print of the film survives.

Synopsis

Un savant fou, le docteur Tube, invente un système qui rend (ou qui fait paraitre) les silhouettes difformes. Il tente d’abord l’expérience sur un chien, puis sur son assistant (un enfant Noir) et sur lui-même, et le résultat les amuse beaucoup. Il envoie ensuite un peu de poudre sur deux charmantes jeunes filles et sur leurs amoureux (les deux jeunes couples sont, eux, catastrophés par le résultat). Au bout d’un moment, la poudre se dissipe et tout rentre dans l’ordre.

In a Provençal village in the south of France, the villagers welcome the declaration of war with Germany in 1914 and flock to enlist. Among them is François Laurin, a man of jealous and violent temperament, who is married to Édith, the daughter of an upright veteran soldier Maria Lazare. François suspects, correctly, that Édith is conducting an affair with the poet Jean Diaz who lives in the village with his mother, and he sends Édith to stay with his parents in Lorraine - where she is subsequently captured and raped by German soldiers. François and Jean find themselves serving in the same battalion at the front, where the initial tensions between them give way to a close friendship that acknowledges that they both love Édith.
