L'Avare est un film muet de Georges Méliès sorti en 1908.

Synopsis

Dans une chambre plutôt délabrée, un vieil homme anxieux, Harpagon, compte ses sous. Entendant du bruit, il cache son or dans l'armoire, et ouvre la porte à un jeune homme (Cléante?) qui vient lui demander un prêt. Il l'éconduit, et retourne compter son argent. Dérangé à nouveau, il dissimule sa cassette dans la poubelle et ouvre la porte à une femme accompagnée de deux jeunes enfants qui vient également le solliciter. Il ouvre une immense armoire. (Ellipse, ou coupe sauvage) On retrouve Harpagon dans un jardin devant un puits, faisant les poches d'un homme à la recherche de sa cassette. Manquant de se jeter à l'eau, il est retenu par un groupe de trois hommes et deux femmes. Chancelant, il explique la raison de son désespoir. L'un des hommes trouve la cassette, et la lui remet. Extatique, il brasse les papiers-monnaie, sans en distribuer un seul. La petite troupe le hue et il sort, ridicule.

A traveler, complete with riding boots and a pith helmet, arrives in a small hotel room. When he puts his luggage on the bed, it disappears immediately. Further magical confusions follow: when he sets down his helmet, it jumps to the floor and moves of its own accord before disappearing in its turn; when the traveler tries to light a candle, it jumps across the room and explodes; when he takes off his coat, it flies through the wall; when he tries to sit down, his chair changes place. Finally managing to sit down, the traveler takes off his boots, which walk away; when the traveler moves to the night table, it too disappears. The traveler prepares for bed and takes off his trousers, which fly through the ceiling. When he jumps into bed, it too disappears and reappears. The perplexed and irritated traveler gives up and dashes out of the room.
