Apr 11, 2010
(Michael House, USA, 2009, Digital, 60 min)
Detailing just how far reaching the career of France’s greatest comic auteur Jacques Tati was, this compelling new documentary explores Tati’s career from his roots in the Parisian music-halls of the ‘30s to his rise and ultimate fall from grace after the release of his masterpiece Playtime. An eclectic range of interviewees (including admirers Mike Mills, Frank Black and Sylain Chomet) pay testament to his genius, and a wealth of clips make this an essential viewing for any fan.
