Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is not really a review, but as I found the product description lacking some key information about the films, I decided to provide here some important information on the films. I hope this information is useful to you. JOUR DE FETE (1949) - 70 minutes - Director: Jacques Tati - Starring: Jacques Tati, Guy Decomble - Genre: Comedy - Plot: When the faor comes to town and shows a movie of the efficient American postmen, the bumbling, ineffectual postman Francois sets off on a series of mishaps and misfortunes to do his job as good as they do. LE VACANCES DE MR. HUBLOT (1953) - 83 minutes - Director: Jacques Tati - Starring: Jacques Tati, Nathalie Pascaud - Genre: Comedy - Plot: Monsieur Hulot comes to a beachside hotel for a vacation, where he accidentally (but good-naturedly) causes havoc. MON ONCLE (1959) - 117 minutes - Director: Jacques Tati - Starring: Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola - Genre: Comedy - Plot: Monsieur Hulot visits the technology-driven world of his sister, brother-in-law, and nephew, but he can't quite fit into the surroundings. PLAYTIME (1967) - 115 minutes - Director: Jacques Tati - Starring: Jacques Tati, Barbara Dennek - Genre: Comedy - Plot: Caught in the tourist invasion, Hulot roams around Paris with a group of American tourists, causing chaos in his usual manner. TRAFIC (1971) - 96 minutes - Director: Jacques Tati - Starring: Jacques Tati, Marcel Fraval - Genre: Comedy - Plot: Mr. Hulot drives a recreational vehicle from Paris to Amsterdam in his usual comic, disasterous style. PARADE (TV Movie 1974) - 84 minutes - Director: Jacques Tati - Starring: Jacques Tati, Karl Kossmayer- Genre: Comedy - Plot: Two children go behind the scenes of a small circus. ON DEMANDE UNE BRUTE (1934) - 23 minutes - Director: Charles Barrois - Starring: Jean Clairval, Jacques Tati - Genre: Comedy GAI DIMANCHE (1935) - 33 minutes - Director: Jacques Berr, Jacques Tati - Starring: Rhum, Jacques Tati - Genre: Comedy SOIGNE TON GAUCHE (1936) - 13 minutes - Director: René Clément - Starring: Jacques Tati, Max Martel - Genre: Comedy - Plot: A young farmhand who daydreams of boxing volunteers to face a professional boxer, even though he knows nothing about boxing. Note: for many of these obscure but delightful films, it was hard to track down information. I have done it the best I could. I hope you will forgive the absences of several of Tati's more rare short films. Now it's time to crunch some numbers. This box set costs $119.99 and contains 6 feature length films, and 7 short films. When we divide to find the cost of the individual film, we find that each film costs roughly $19.99 (short films not counted). When you factor in the short films and the numerous special and bonus features, I think this is an excellent value to own these delightful and hilarious films from a master of comedy.
