| Summary: | Oscar-winning French director/performer Jacques Tati (1907-1982) was a fiercely innovative and original filmmaker who found inspiration in the observation of life around him. By creating and playing unassuming characters thrown into the bustle of society, the hapless postman François and the maladroit Monsieur Hulot, Tati brilliantly exposed the ways in which class distinctions, social mores, architecture and technology affect the basic ways that humans relate to one another. Designed by M/M (Paris), the set includes Volume I, "Tati Shoots": stills from all six feature films; Volume II, "Tati Writes": the complete screenplays, plus those of the unmade films The Illusionist and Confusion, illustrated by pages from Tati's original drafts; Volume III, "Tati Works": a comprehensive survey of his life and work; Volume IV, "Tati Explores": essays on important themes in his films and Volume V, "Tati Speaks": quotations, interviews and a previously unpublished memoir by Tati. |
