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.

Cro Magnon said...

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.

gz said...

A good smile..thankyou. And we have sunshine this morning too.

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

I'll watch Tati again.

Used to love Tati - haven't seen that before though.

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.

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

I love his restraint. Funny guy.

Tom Stephenson said...

He was great.

Watching this was a nice start to my day.

Cro Magnon said...

In an unassuming way.

Cro Magnon said...

Can't be bad, can it.

Marion said...

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! :-)

Cro Magnon said...

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

Rian said...

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

Graham Edwards said...

I haven't seen that one before either. It's afternoon now but I still smiled!

Donna OShaughnessy said...

Oh that house! All the levels, the stairs, the windows. I want it.
