Collection of feature films from French actor/director Jacques Tati. 'Jour de Fete' (1949) was Tati's directorial debut and became one of his most famous comedies. After observing the high-speed efficiency of the American postal serivice, the postman, François (Tati), of a sleepy French town is inspired to add a little excitement into his delivery route. This coincides with the arrival of the summer fair, and chaos ensues. 'Les Vacances De M. Hulot' (1953) sees the introduction of the character of Monsieur Hulot (Tati). As Hulot sets off on a holiday by the sea, accidents and severe misunderstandings follow him leaving his fellow hotel guests less than satisfied. In 'Mon Oncle' (1958) Monsieur Hulot returns with his brother-in-law, the manager of a plastics factory. When Hulot discovers that his nephew has been growing up in a house full of gadgets and gizmos he tries to steer him away from a life of automation. In 'Playtime' (1967), Monsieur Hulot returns accompanying a group of female American tourists as they travel through Paris. 'Parade' (1974) is a docudrama starring Tati giving a jovial observation of the circus, including the shenanigans that go on behind-the-scenes of the production. 'Trafic' (1971) sees Tati play Monsieur Hulot for the final time. As he transports his innovative motorhome from Paris to a motorshow in Amsterdam Hulot encounters many problems and hindrances including traffic jams, nose-picking drivers and car crashes.

A collection of six films from director Jacques Tati. Includes; TRAFIC, PARADE, PLAYTIME, MON ONCLE, LES VACANCES DE M. HULOT and JOUR DE FETE. TRAFIC - The legendary French comedian Jacques Tati returns as his most famous character, the bumbling M. Hulot, in this gentle but pointed satire of 20th Century car culture. PARADE - The multitalented French filmmaker Tati began this project by videotaping a performance of a circus show that he did in Sweden. An enterprising producer transferred the tape to film, and presto! Instant movie!PLAYTIME - Arriving nearly a decade after MON ONCLE, PLAYTIME continues the adventures of M. Hulot. MON ONCLE - Five years after his first appearance, Jacques Tati's M. Hulot returns with MON ONCLE, a film set along the dividing line between Paris' past and its future. LES VACANCES DE M. HULOT - The first film to introduce his much-loved alter ego Monsieur Hulot, it sets the pattern for future appearances of the character, throwing the bumbling hero unwittingly into the middle of the action and letting the ensuing mishaps provoke humor ranging from gentle observations to fairly biting satire. JOUR DE FETE - Tati is Francois, a contented and happy postman in a small, unhurried French village. Francois is at ease with his job and leisurely performs his duties, peddling away on his rounds upon his beloved bicycle. Things perk up when a traveling carnival arrives in town.
