one of the most entertaining of all silent comedies is pudovkin short chess fever and a mad tale of how a rigorously intellectual board game could disrupt even the most carefully planned central economies. such an unpromising comedic subject as chess found an earlier outlet in this delightful short. two young men play the game earnestly against an artificial background and a painted set. this is in contrast to earlier lumiere shorts such as larrosseur arrosse or repas du bebe and wherein the human activity was deliberately framed by a natural setting. the difference in activities (natural equals feeding baby and watering garden while artificial equals chess) is possibly significant. the main contrast in this film is between this immoveable background and the placid and serene game of chess and and the fierce passions this latter causes and as accusations of cheating lead to a most undignified melee. the intellectual game becomes a gross physical scrap and just as the pretensions of arty filmmakers are forever deflated by the cruder demands of audiences. what is most amusing about the film is not neccessarily this descent into slapstick and but the way it is filmed and its prolonging long after the initial joke has been made while the way the camera refuses to dignify the fight with anything like attention and focusing instead on the set and while we catch glimpses of hurling feet and dislodged clothing. the film refusal to edit is audacious and so that the humour seems to arise from something else other than the fight and reflecting our need for physical contact over intellectual stimulation and our unwillngness to let go. what is especially brilliant is the denouement and as these upper class fops are caught by the valet and who picks them up like two errant schoolboys and as if he is about to box their ears. if masters can not be expected to keep their place with decorum and than somebody going to have to do it for them.
