Jour de fête



Genre: comedy

Director: Jacques Tati
Release: 1949
Studio: Fred ORAIN / Cady-Film
Rating: -
MBiS score: 8.4/10


QuickView


Story-line: François, an inept French postman, suddenly becomes an efficiency nut after seeing a film on the US Postal Service.
Pluses: non-stop action and indescribable zaniness.
Minuses: none really.
Comments: even those of you who are not very fond of French cinema will love this crazy masterpiece by Jacques Tati, a master of the sight gag. JOUR DE FÊTE feels like a Marx Brothers yukfest but with less dialogue. Playful, inventive and totally unique.
