So. Many. Easter eggs and pop culture/film/game references. I didn't even start to notice them until halfway through. I'm going to need a guide/checklist for next time I watch it.
Was spring cleaning the television cabinet the other day and pulled out a collection of Jacques Tati classic movies on dvd which in no way will be heading to the op shop.
For those not familiar with his work he was a French producer/director/comic actor. Being the perfectionist that he was he only managed to put out half a dozen movies in his lifetime.
In his films he plays the part of the lovable village idiot who tends to cause chaos where ever he goes.
Watching his movies you get the feeling this guy was ahead of his time using comedy to mock the rush of many into the shallow fickle world of consumerism of the second half of the 20th century.
Every time I sit down to watch one of his pieces I see some new quirky thing going on in scenes that I have missed in previous watches.
'Jour de Fete' , his first flick is probably my most favorite along with 'Mon Oncle' but honestly all his work is worth a watch.
Glad I came across these discs again , now all I have to do is work out how that darn dvd remote works so we can sit down and watch them again.
Great choice! I think Jour de Fete was the first time I actually had tears running down my face in a cinema from laughing so hard.

As good as The Wire. Better really, if you like watching girls who can beat up boys, which my wife does apparently. It is also too good to binge-watch, since sleeping on it reveals more about what happened and why.

Unforgettable movie, set immediately after WW 2. Every character is a little insane, some because of the war, some in the way they have always been. On Amazon.
