With a background in music hall and mime performance, Tati ateadily built an ever-more-ambitious movie career that ultimately raised sight-gag comedy to the level of high art. In the surrogate character of the sweet and bumbling, eternally umbrella-toting and pipe-smoking Monsieur Hulot, Tati invented a charming symbol of humanity lost in a relentlessly modernizing modern age. This set gathers his six hilarious features — Jour de féte, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Mon oncle, PlayTime, Trafic, and Parade — along with seven delightful Tati-related short films.
