The first feature by the great French comedian Jacques Tati is one of his best, but it has not been seen in this country for years. Tati plays a village postman influenced by an advertising film at a visiting fair, who decides he can deliver his mail just as fast as the streamlined New York Postal Services. Full of simple humour and brilliant mime, Jour De Fete contains some of the finest slapstick since the heyday of Chaplin and Keaton. The atmosphere of French village life on a lazy summer's day is beautifully evoked.
