La Prophétesse de Thèbes est un film réalisé par Georges Méliès, sorti en 1907.

Synopsis

L’un des rois de l’ancienne Thèbes entre dans la demeure d’un astrologue et exige qu’on lui dise son avenir. Le premier refuse catégoriquement de prévoir les événements à venir de son souverain, même sous peine de mort ; Mais il engendre une prêtresse qui possède les pouvoirs de divination. Cette prêtresse est présentée d’une manière merveilleuse: un trône est avancé, puis une boîte d’où les morceaux d’une statue sont retirés et empilés dans un ordre régulier; La statue s’anime soudainement. Le roi implore ce dernier de prédire sa vie. Elle lui ordonne de regarder à travers un télescope vers le côté de la pièce. Une vision apparaît, le révélant assis sur une chaise d’État et entouré de sa cour, quand soudain il tombe par terre, mort d’assassinat. Le roi est furieux. Il cherche à tuer l’astrologue, mais son épée ne sert à rien contre ce maître magicien. Un sac d’or est finalement apporté, et quand il est livré, la malédiction est levée.

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.
