Films Of Jacques Tati, The (4 Disc Box Set)

Jacques Tati is one of the great comic icons of French cinema, a Gallic equivalent of Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton. This exclusive box set brings together his four masterpieces available for the first time - all beautifully restored, plus a collection of bonus rarely seen Tati film shorts.

JOUR DE FETE
Jacques Tati plays the role of a mailman in a small French village in his first feature film. After viewing a film about efficiency in the American postal system, the mailman decides to upgrade his archaic means of delivering mail.

MR. HULOT'S HOLIDAY (b&w)
Pipe-smoking Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati's endearing clown, takes a holiday at a seaside resort where his presence provokes one catastrophe after another. The first entry in the Hulot series is a masterpiece of gentle slapstick.

MON ONCLE
Jacques Tati’s eccentric hero Monsieur Hulot is let loose in the ultramodern home of his sister and in an antiseptic factory that manufactures plastic hose. Slapstick prevails in the second entry of the Hulot series, a delightful satire of mechanized living.

PLAYTIME (16x9 Widescreen)
The endearingly clumsy Monsieur Hulot wanders through modernist Paris trying to reconcile the old-fashioned ways with the confusion of the encroaching age of technology.
