Tag / Jacques Tati

Parade (1974)

  • Criterion Collection, Tati, Jacques
  • 1974, France, Jacques Tati, Sweden
  • 2 Comments

Tati’s swansong is a delightful circus act (and quite literally, and dazzlingly so) as he implicates artists, entertainers and audience members alike in the performative.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday (1953)

  • Criterion Collection, Tati, Jacques
  • 1953, France, Jacques Tati
  • 3 Comments

Tati’s international breakthrough is his most optimistic film in what is a purely-conceived characterisation of the inimitable Mr. Hulot. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Trafic (1971)

  • Criterion Collection, Tati, Jacques
  • 1971, France, Jacques Tati
  • Leave a comment

This late career work by French comic master Jacques Tati has uncharacteristic pacing problems, though if you like automobiles, it is a charming snapshot of cars and trucks of the early 1970s.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Playtime (1967)

  • Criterion Collection, Tati, Jacques
  • 1967, France, Jacques Tati
  • 5 Comments

The great Jacques Tati delivers outrageously inventive comedy visual gags in some of the most elaborate mise-en-scene committed to film.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Mon oncle (1958)

  • Criterion Collection, Tati, Jacques
  • 1958, France, Jacques Tati
  • 5 Comments

The first colour film of Tati is a remarkable and satirical slapstick comedy, acting as a bridge between the doldrums of mechanized modernity and the earthly charms of the old-world.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Jour de fete (1949)

  • Criterion Collection, Tati, Jacques
  • 1949, France, Jacques Tati
  • 2 Comments

Tati’s debut feature is a charming little piece about a postman in a countryside town, filled with the kind of visual gags and physical humour that would define his future works.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
