If you loved Mein Onkel, try Tatis herrliche Zeiten
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Jacques Tati, and they both carry the foreign gem, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mein Onkel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tatis herrliche Zeiten is
Jacques Tati’s playgrounds are office buildings and dinner parties. Monsieur Hulot navigates a glass-and-steel Paris where doors, stairs and elevators conspire against him on the way to a business meeting, occasionally bumping into an oblivious American tourist. The film’s genius lies in finding comedy in things that have no plot at all.
