The Sunday Smile: Jaques Tati.


I know you've probably all seen this a hundred times before, but Tati is good therapy.

Here he is, once again, going home.

    Good morning Cro, Sunday here is not like Sunday there, but I smiled.

      Hello Yael. Yes, I see you've been having dreadful trouble with your neighbours again, and as usual Israel is being accused of being 'heavy-handed'. Nothing changes!

    Every Wednesday evening the university Film Society used to show Foreign language films (doesn’t that sound delightfully old-fashioned nowadays) and Jacques Tati was always my favourite. Thanks for a lovely reminder Cro.

      I ran our Film Club at college, and I used to hire the most bizarre US underground films. Very avant garde!

      It's windy here now, and the skies are darkening....

      I'll watch Tati again.

    I posted the same many years ago and many other clips from Tati movies. A Vietnamese chap said I had an unhealthy interest in Tati movies, but I just love them. I cannot find on Youchube a clip of where a lad bangs his fist on the boot of car, leading to the person in the car in front accusing the one behind of hitting his/her car.

      Well, that would be the boot of the front car, the driver of which accused the driver of the car behind. I guess you knew what I meant.

      There's no such thing as 'an unhealthy interest in Tati'; he's worth all the interest we show in him.

    You've just initiated a Tati virgin. What a nice Sunday surprise on the rare, almost freezing morning in the Louisiana swamps. I thank you! :-)

      That pleases me (not your weather; but the Tati initiation). You must watch M Hulot's Holiday; it's a classic.

    I too have never seen any Tati before. That was definitely entertaining. Love that old house!
