Book DescriptionLife is full of homages to Jacques Tati. Tati is a great film comic who deserves to be placed on the same level as Keaton or Chaplin. His Monsieur Hulot has now entered the world of screen legends. Above everything else, Jacques Tati was an artist who did not fear to take risks nor to put his entire being in each one of his films. From Jour de fete to Parade,there is a Tati-World which this remarkable study by Michel Chion invites us to discover. Besides being an important writer offilm books in France, Michel Chion is also a composer and filmmaker whose film Eponine was awarded the Prix Vigo in 1985.
