	Jacques Tati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Playtime (1967), shot in 70mm, was Tati's most daring and most expensive work of his career; it took him nine years to complete and he was forced to borrow heavily from his own resources to complete the picture.
		Tati's last completed film, Parade, a film produced for Swedish television, is a simple story of two children who visit a small circus.
		Tati was the subject of a Frank Black song called "The Jacques Tati".

		Tati’s unfussy plot decisions simply constructed the necessary unfamiliar environment within which Hulot could be best placed to act as the comedy stooge in relation to the strangeness that surrounded him.
		Tati pioneered a comedic process that relied almost exclusively on visual elements infused with ambient sound; dialogue was almost entirely abandoned as a means to convey humour.
		Tati built sets to represent a notion of modern day Paris, it seems ironic that Jean-Luc Godard’s sci-fi noir thriller Alphaville, filmed two years before, was shot on location in the French capital, despite the events of the film taking place some time in the future.

		In 1947, Tati wrote, directed and starred in a short film L' Ecole des facteurs, which appears to be a direct homage to the silent American films of the 1920s (with obvious references to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton).
		Tati, who had used up his own financial resources and turned to friends and relations for money, would be paying of the debts he had accumulated in making the film right up until his death.
		Tati’s final project, Confusion, was aborted at an early stage when the director died from a pulmonary embolism, on 5th November 1982 in Paris.

		French director Jacques Tati (1908-1982), a master of film comedy, is the subject of a complete retrospective - The Films of Jacques Tati - at the American Museum of the Moving Image from December 16 to 31, 2000.
		Although Tati was best known to film goers as the bumbling and bewildered on-screen character Hulot, behind the camera he was a perfectionistic and painstaking craftsman.
		Tati's meticulous work ethic and the exorbitant amount of time he spent refining every detail of his films resulted in a career plagued by production delays and financial problems.

	Jacques Tati Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Tati's film personas--Francois the Postman in Jour de fete and the popular Monsieur Hulot in Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot, Mon Oncle, Playtime, and Traffic--helped reveal the inherent humor of humanity attempting to exist in an increasingly mechanized society and drew positive comparisons to the silent film comedians Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd.
		While Tati only produced five films in a career spanning more twenty-five years, he is admired for developing a brand of humor that ennobles humanity while poking gentle fun at it, conveying that humor in a way that entertains and challenges audiences and advancing the film-comedy genre.
		Tati died in 1982 of a pulmonary embolism in Paris.

		Tati would appear in the distance and tinker with something, a door fitting, something on the ground, his production director, M Maurice, tagging along, attentive, tolerant, an air of fatigued resignation.
		Since Tati failed to come to a decision for long periods, his enormous set just waited for him, and so did I, sitting marooned in a coach with a score of wives of American officers from Shape (Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers Europe) that Tati had chosen personally at a Shape dinner party.

	Jacques Tati (1908 - 1982) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Living and working in France, Jacques Tati was a chessmaster of modern film comedy, a creator of complex comic structures in which gag constructions and audience expectations become pawns on his cinematic board.
		Tati directs, and in a way what that really means is that he composes this movie with a perfect eye and ear for the comic possibilities in everything: composition, lighting, minimal marble-mouth dialogue, certain sounds (a duck call, a door repeatedly opening and shutting).
		Jacques Tati's farewell to Monsieur Hulot is also a deep, insightful, sad and funny reflection on the modern age.

	French culture \| cinema: The Genius of Jacques Tati (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jacques Tati is a man of contradictions: He claimed not to have read much of anything, but his films were nevertheless embraced by France's intellectual elite as vanguard Modernist works.
		Tati is perhaps best known as and inseparable from his iconic creation M. Hulôt, who wanders silently through his four most famous features, attired in a rumpled trench coat and slouch hat, observing or (more often) inadvertently instigating comic catastrophes.
		Tati performs some of his classic sketches in this short film shot on the set of Playtime that contrasts that film's stunning visual design with the run-down surroundings in which it was built.

	Mon Oncle on DVD
		Tati the director contrasts (tradition) M. Hulot, single, unemployed and living in a quaint, slow-paced French quarter with (modernity) the Arpel family, Hulot's sister, her husband and their young son, Gerald, who live in the newest section of town.
		Tati shares a unique affinity with the early silent comedians, especially Buster Keaton, though there are as many differences as similarities between them.
		Throughout, Tati contrasts the cold colors and industrial sounds of the Arpel’s and the Plastac factory to the warm, earth tone colors, traditional French music, and human sounds of the old quarter.

	Untitled Document
		Jacques Tati behoort tot de filmmakers van wie de reputatie omgekeerd evenredig is aan de hoeveelheid films die hij produceerde.
		Bij Tati lijkt alles toeval maar alleen door zijn perfectionisme, perfecte timing en het keer op keer overdoen van de scène was hij in staat dit resultaat te bereiken.
		Playtime is ongetwijfeld Tati's beste en meest complete film en wanneer de film uitkomt in 1967 zijn de critici erg enthousiast maar het publiek begrijpt er niets van: de film is zo eigenzinnig en tegendraads dat veel mensen de boodschap erachter niet vatten.

	Bio for Jacques Tati on MSN Movies
		However, Tati found the François character lacking, and began creating a new persona whom he dubbed Monsieur Hulot; a poker-faced cipher perennially clad in a crumpled raincoat, always with a pipe in his mouth and an umbrella in his hands, the perpetually irresolute character proved the unlikely and often unwitting catalyst behind Tati's ambitious gags.
		A remarkable essay on life in the post-industrial world, the movie's long gestation crippled the momentum of Tati's career, and was a major commercial disaster upon its release; he never fully recovered from the setback, and 1972's Trafic, the fourth and final Hulot feature, was also a box-office disappointment.
		In 1974 Tati released Parade, a low-budget collection of slapstick gags and pantomime which he shot on video; it was to be his last completed work.

		Tati plays a "mad cycling postman" in his first two films.
		In his final film, made for Swedish television, Tati hosts a circus, performs some of his greatest mime routines from his music-hall days, and interacts with spectators, artists, clowns, and children.

	DVD Savant Review: M. Hulot's Holiday, Mon Oncle, Playtime
		Tati's Monsieur Hulot, a gangly, lumbering gentleman who is not so much slow-witted as perpetually perplexed by the crazy world around him, would not at first seem a particularly flexible character on which to build great comedies.
		At great expense, Tati had to regroup and have a standard lab figure out how to make the b&w prints that were eventually released.
		Tati fought for half a decade to get it made, and lost his shirt filming it.

	Jacques Tati - Films as Director:, Other Films:
		Hulot is not a comedian, in the sense of being the source and focus of the humor; he is, rather, an attitude, a signpost, a perspective that reveals the humor in the world around him.
		And just as Tati the actor refuses to use his character to guide the audience through the film, so does Tati the director refuse to use close-ups, emphatic camera angles, or montage to guide the audience to the humor in the images.
		Tati's last theatrical film, the 1971 Traffic, would have seemed a masterpiece from anyone else, but for Tati it was clearly a protective return to a more traditional style.

		In de kille wereld van glas, staal en beton, die Tati in Parijs liet bouwen, is het sociale verkeer teruggebracht tot een rollenspel, waarin iedereen krampachtig 'in character' probeert te blijven.

	Jacques Tati
		Unfortunately for anyone studying the life of Jacques Tati, for whom the absurdity of life, the leisure of the upper and middle classes, and the wonderful eccentricity of every kind of person, remained his chief source of inspiration throughout his career as a filmmaker, such links cannot be avoided.
		Biographical data on Tati mostly came from the man himself, from the stories he told, from his tape-recorded memoirs, and from the memories of those who'd met him and worked with him.
		Playtime, which Tati worked on for nearly the whole span of time since Mon Oncle, which netted him the Academy Award as well as the Cannes Film Festival's Prix spécial du Jury, was extremely costly, with journalists estimating the budget as being anywhere between five and twelve million francs.

		Tati reportedly practiced his comic gags in front of children and animals.

		It might be more useful to consider Tati the director in the company of modernist control-freak auteurs Bresson and Antonioni, who didn't make comedies but created their own worlds.
		Tati's fourth feature and boldest experiment, the visionary Playtime (1967) was nearly three years in production.
		Tati wanted the buildings preserved for use by young filmmakers, but as in a scene from one of his films, they were torn down to make room for a highway.

		Jacques Tati plays the role of a mailman in a small French village in his first feature film.
		Mr Hulot, Tati’s onscreen alter ego, appeared for the first time in what is both a classic screen comedy and a classic of modernist cinema.
		Playtime was the most elaborate and ambitious film of Tati’s career, a comic city symphony that culminates in a restaurant scene of extraordinary intricacy and breathtaking speed.

		Good news from Tati's stuff: her injury isn't so serious like the one she suffered in Miami so it won't hamper her 2007 preparation.
		Currently our Tati is back in Paris where the examination proved that she suffered a sprain with a bone wrench and she needs to wear a splint for three weeks.
		I'm not 100% about this but the reason why Tati was forced to retire it seems to be again connected with her ankle, particularly for a sprain to the right ankle.

		Tati canta l'estignuersi dell'artigianato (che egli meglio d'ogni altro regista francese rappresenta, con i suoi film rari e minuziosi) e satireggia il falso progresso e il falso benessere della società moderna (ma non tanto le invenzioni in sé quanto la gente che ne diventa schiava).
