I don't think I've ever posted much about Tati, but I am very much among his admirers. For a while I counted Playtime as my single favorite film (and it is still somewhere "up there").
I'm a big Tati fan, too. Just watched Jour de Fete the other day and still busted out laughing at the pantomime and Ben Turpin lookalike. Do you know anything about his apparent obsessions with postmen? He made many shorts of them and Jour de Fete is centered on one.

That image is genuinely "full," of meanings, shapes, colors, and orders. Thanks for posting this - I had somehow forgotten how much I love Tati.

Don't forget to turn off the fish!
