Jour de fête

Round up the family and escape the heat with Jour de fête, a cinematic classic from the legendary Jacques Tati!   

In his directorial debut, a classic comedy of provincial life, renowned French filmmaker and actor Jacques Tati portrays a bumbling postman, with the priceless physical comedy and scenarios of confusion that he would perfect in his forthcoming films as Monsieur Hulot.  

“The story concerns the arrival of a travelling carnival for Bastille Day festivities and the bittersweet turmoil that follows, but the action is set in motion by the clash of cultures: old and new, rural and urban, French and American.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker
