Jaques Tati - Essential Collection (6 Films) Blu-Ray

When we ask filmmakers across the world to name a French film director who has changed how they look at film and at the world, all or nearly all of them say with a smile, “Jacques Tati”. Around 20 mullion peolpe in France have watched his films at the cinema, making him one of the most popular filmmakers throughout the history of cinema. In 6 feature films and 7 short films, Tati has established his originality as both an actor and director, embodying Francois the postman and Monsieur Hulot, two comical figures who are on a par with characters created by Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and Charlie Chaplin. Tati was a formidable inventor of new styles and a master in the art of observing the everyday and the modern, withy a critical but humorous approach. From short films to feature films, music hall to road-movie, Jacques Tati draws us into his quirky and poetic universe. Step into the ring to face Roger in Soigne Ton Gauche (Keep Your Left Up), be invited into the festive Big Top in Parade, pedal faster and faster to deliver the post in L’Ecole des Facteurs (The School for Postmen) and Jour de FEte (The Big Day), embark on a journey across Europe in a revolutionary Renault in Trafic (Traffic), enjoy a well-deserved revitalising holiday with Monsieur Hulot, let Mon Oncle (My Uncle) guide you around the old neighbourhood of Saint-Maur and the ultramodern Arpel villa, and experience a virtual visitof Paris in the incredible PlayTime.
