Hi, Luis. That's the only Tati film I recall seeing, and it's rather wonderful!

Mon Oncle, closely followed by Playtime.
I found a 7" record of the music from Mon Oncle a handful of months ago. It's superb.

| Mr. Hulot's Holiday and Playtime are probably some of the most underrated comedy around- at least here in the US |

"another misunderstood genius"
...sort of like Frank. It's not suprising that he's not popular in the US, as very few people over here have any interest in French cinema at all. I would have thought he'd be more appreciated in France though, it's too bad he isn't. |

Luis,
looking back on your career are you more fond of your early Mexican films or the French era stuff?
at least that's what your mom said |

Has anyone seen his last film, TRAFIC? I've seen all his others, but for years have NOT been able to locate this one. PLAY TIME is superb.

Tati's last film was Parade. It's good circus and mime stuff. http://www.ambafrance-us.org/culture/cinema/festival/tati/parade.html
Trafic is fun. The car crash scene is great, but it's not up to par probably (as is often cited) due to the lack of his control.
I liked My Uncle a lot, but Mon Oncle was better, me thinks.
Les Vacances is still my favorite. It's not as sad as the others, I like the blonde in it better than the brunette in Playtime, and the locations are really pleasing.
Playtime is spectacular, but so sad. |
