Jacques Tati - Imitating a London officer then a French officer

[@hectthorno584]

He was a pure genius. Too bad he only made six movies. He died broke. One journalist wrote in 1982 : "we cry dead Tati. We should have helped him alive". Unfortunately despite My Uncle, les vacances de M. Hulot and Jour de fête success, his memory is fading in France. Glad he still has fans in the UK.

[@ducpecc2013]

His not fading in France, we still see and studi some of is movie. He was a pure genius

[@keybawd]

One of the greatest comedians - or perhaps observers - of all time. Les Vacanes de Monsieur Hulot is still brilliant and funny after 60 years. Of how many film comedies can you say that?

[@rickparker1582]

Genius is thrown around a bit too often in the film industry but not when it comes to Jacques Tati. Brilliant.

[@robertmatthews8302]

I am undeniably a francophile, have lived and worked for over 25 years in Brittany. I am now happily retired. I was taken to the cinema in Cheam(in the late 1950's) as a small child by my father to see Monsieur Hulo's Holiday which gave me a lasting impression. Jacques Tati was an absolute genious and an inspiration to many. Entertainment par excellence!!

[@baptiste6875]

Ca fait plaisir de voir que le cinéma français (mon pays) plaît toujours dans le monde, vu la qualité déplorable et le manque navrant d'originalité des films français d'aujourd'hui. La communauté de cinéphilie française préfère soit les films anglais/américains récents ou pas, soit les films français du siècle dernier ? Mais ne tâchons pas d'oublier que d'excellents films français récents existent, mais ne remportent pas de grands succès, ce qui est regrettable. En comparaison (rien qu'en France), les films de Tati dépassaient les 2 millions d'entrées. Aujourd'hui, il n'en feraient pas 400 000, vu le peu d'intérêt des Français pour leurs propres films. La preuve, le nom de Jacques Tati n'évoque plus rien pour la majorité des gens.

[@jean-pierrejipi5720]

C'est pas faux . J'ai 52 ans et j'adore les films de Tati . J'ai eu le plaisir de découvrir ses films dans le milieu les années 80 à, l'internat. Et je peux dire qu'à l'époque on appréciait ses films . J'en avais déjà vu dans les années 70 mais pas autant que mes années d'internat . Un vrai régal que de redécouvrir le génie de Monsieur Tati .

Rowan Atkinson is a big Tati fan and you can see this in a lot of his Mr Bean character/antics, definitely not in the same league as the Tati genius though IMHO

[@sebastianverney7851]

We left the EU because we are fundamentally different. We just don’t do things the way foreigners do them.. Even Jacques Tati, a foreigner, a Frenchman even, possibly even some might say a Russian, could see this quite clearly and with great prescience. When future generations look back on Brexit with dumbfounded amazement at the short-sightedness and insularity of the English in 2016, we can show them this video and they will understand how different we were in those Medieval days (as they will then seem).

[@fredericfournier5662]

Yes but please take care of your precious english teeth or you will never be the same again.

The Dutch, the Germans are also fundamentally different from the Greeks and the Italians and yet all are still in the EU. In my view Brexit had to do with something else and in your comment is a hint.
