Tribulation or the Misfortunes of a Cobbler is a 1908 French short silent film by Georges Méliès.
Méliès himself appears in the film as the Roman, alongside two of his frequent collaborators: Fernande Albany as the merchant, and Manuel as the farrier.
A 1981 guide to Méliès's work speculated that Manuel may have also directed the film, noting that it matches his usual staging style.
