Sounds On Screen: Jacques Tati
A master of visual wit and a pioneer in French cinema, Jacques Tati carved his niche amidst the French New Wave of the late '50s with comic films that portrayed people in conflict with the mechanised modern world. From the iconic umbrella-toting and pipe-smoking Monsieur Hulot of "Mr. Hulot's Holiday" to the sprawling urban satire "Playtime," Tati showcased an artful interplay of humour and societal observation. Eschewing traditional norms, Tati opted for non-professional actors and outdoor shoots, a daring choice in an era favouring indoor sound technology. With a background in music hall and mime performance, his cinematic language was akin to a choreographed dance, orchestrating a seamless integration of various filmmaking elements; he was cinematographer, screenwriter, and director - a true maestro.
Dive into a whimsical world where laughter needs no translation, in this Sounds on Screen.
Produced for NTS by 150 Session.
