Sunday Brunch: Jour de Fete

Très Tati: Jour de Fête (U) S

Tati's first feature length film is a hilarious look at the modern obsession with speed and efficiency. Tati plays the postman in a sleepy French village where he will happily delay his deliveries for a quick chat. When the fair comes to town, however, the village is shown a newsreel championing the fast US mail system and he is encouraged to speed up his deliveries on his bicycle. A wonderful blend of satire and slapstick that features perfect comic timing, intricate stunts and enthusiastic performances.
