Artistic Features
J. Fader used drawings by the artist Steinlen , who created illustrations for the story of A. France. The main role of Maurice de Ferody (actor " Comedy Frances "). J. Fader in the court scene successfully used various positions of the camera. Krenkebil was shot from above, and therefore he seemed like a helpless insect thrown into the depths of the courtroom. At the same time, the judges were shot with a wide-angle lens, and, from Krenkebil's point of view, they looked unusually sinister. Due to a somewhat gloomy manner of lighting, viewers watched what was happening on the screen as if through glass of windows that had not been washed for a long time. This gave the film that sad coloring that permeates the story of A. France .
