The Master of French comedy! This box set brings together his 4 masterpieces of cinema available for the first time - Jour De Fete, Mr. Hulot's Holday, Mon Oncle & Playtime - all beautifully restored, plus a collection of bonus rarely seen Tati film shorts. Jacques Tati is one of the great comic icons of French cinema, a Gallic equivalent of Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton, whose works as director, writer and actor are regarded fondly by audiences as well as harder-to-please critics. Like a true auteur, Tati essentially made only one kind of film, in his case, the physical comedy. There is little to no dialogue in his movies, and the action, frenzied but tightly choreographed, is invariably set to a breezy musical score. They are precisely calibrated films that successfully merge farce with darker social commentary.
