I miss my 72 '02. (Sniff, sniff, wipes eyes)

I’d LOVE to see a Bollywood version of this!

I SO wanted a clever RV like the one in that movie.

One of the better bits of that film but unless you are a major fan Trafic is skippable. See his previous movies instead.

Tati is a god.

Tati was a genius and a serious comedian with plenty to say about the kind of society we live in and the technology we use.

Now do Playtime, please.

Wow, brilliant stuff!

I saw and loved the complete Tati opus on the big screen (in a film society run) in the 70s, but because my memory was a bit dim I couldn’t understand why, when distributors like Criterion began releasing his other movies on DVD, they held back on Trafic. I bought it the day it finally became available, but have only watched it a couple of times since. It has its great moments, but is not in the same class as (say) Playtime, Holiday, and Mon Oncle.

I saw it once 10-15 years ago, and Playtime is still blowing my mind.
