Five films from Jacques Tati, one of the 20th centurys greatest filmmakers.

This DVD box set features five films from Jacques Tati, one of the 20th centurys greatest filmmakers. His ability to captivate audiences with a humour that is almost entirely visual is simply a joy to behold.

Jour de fête, Les Vacances de M. Hulot, Mon Oncle, Playtime and Parade.

Jour de fête 1949: a hilarious exposé of the modern obsession of with speed and efficiency, Jacques Tatis award winning feature début is a dazzling blend of satire and slapstick.

Les Vacances de M. Hulot 1953: The film that brought Tati international acclaim also launched his on-screen alter ego: the courteous, well-meaning and eternally accident-prone Monsieur Hulot.

Mon Oncle 1958: Tatis third feature is a satirical assault on the twin targets of efficiency and the modern world. Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and a Special Prize at Cannes.

Playtime 1967: Regarded by many as Jacques Tatis masterpiece, Playtime is a surreal comic vision of mankinds battle against the overwhelming depersonalisation of modern life.

Parade 1974: Tatis last film sees his return to the boisterous music hall world in which he began his career as a mime artist in the 1930s.
