Jour De Fete
Jacques Tati's first feature film, which introduced some of the finest mime and slapstick humour since the days of Chaplin and Keaton. Tati is the village postman, who, influenced by advertising, decides he can singlehandedly emulate the modern New York Postal service for his sleepy town. The results are unpredictable, touching, and very funny.
