Life never ceases to give homage to Jacques Tati. Be it on the beach, in an old part of town, or in the glamour of a modern city, we find everywhere the gags which have peopled such films as Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot and Playtime. If a silhouette crosses us at a street corner, we are quickly reminded of certain scenes in Mon Oncle. Tati was a great film comic who deserves to be placed on the same level as Keaton and Chaplin. Tati created Monsieur Hulot who has now entered the world of screen legends. Above all, Jacques Tati was an exemplary artist who was not scared of taking risks or to invest his entire being in the making of his films. From Jour de fete to Parade, there is a Tati-World which this study invites us to discover. Michael Chion is a critic at Les Cashiers du cinema and has published numerous works which develop his theories on the art of sound in cinema (La Voix au cinema and Le Son au cinema). A musical composer, Michael Chion is also the author of Eponine, which was awarded the Prix Jean-Vigo in 1985.

Hey! It‘s my yearly post about watching Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot on the last night of summer vacation!

I discovered a trio of M. Hulot books online which I got to share with my kiddos so this is actually a bookish post this year

Back to work on the morrow, thankfully with no students due in the classroom for a few months at least. It‘s going to be a weird school year, but tonight it‘s just me and M. Hulot on the beach at Saint-Marc-sur-Mer

My Summer Break officially ends today so tonight, as is my yearly tradition, I‘m watching Jacques Tati's Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot.

Sending good thoughts out to all teachers who are heading back to their classrooms in the coming days!

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @JanuarieTimewalker13 I hope you can track it down! It‘s a sweet little ode to Summer, made of silly almost wordless vignettes. 6y

It's back to work tomorrow so I'm spending this last night bidding summer farewell in my traditional way: rewatching Jacques Tati's 1953 Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot.

No beach trip this year due to the wonderful new little one, so I'm joining M. Hulot on his trip to Saint-Marc-sur-Mer.

EvieBee You have fab taste. Love this film! What a great way to send the summer of with. 8y
