Bert Haanstra & Jacques Tati
‘Portretten’ (2 april 1968) Dutch television show, NTS
The television show evolved around Tati, who was in Amsterdam to promote his movie Playtime. He did some mime improvisations at Studio Bellevue and donated his honorarium to a good cause.
Other guests were Bert Haanstra, Hetty Blok, Cora Canne Meijer, Rinus Ferdinandusse and Kees Brusse. Probably also with Conny Stuart.
The Bazin-Tati/Playtime connection.
The concentration on objective reality, deep focus, and lack of montage are linked to Bazin's belief that the interpretation of a film or scene should be left to the spectator.

Jacques Tati’s “Playtime” is a playful visual treatise on modernity portraying the innate incompatibility between human nature and the Modernist expectations of behavior in space. Almost completely devoid of dialogue, shot on a massive set located near Paris known as Tativille, the film dissects Modernist architecture through one of its epitomes: the office building.

My ★★★★ review of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) on #Letterboxd https://boxd.it/9dAfEL

boxd.itA ★★★★ review of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)I'd like to use this space to shine a light on some commercials Anderson made. Since Letterboxd is about documentaries and movies, it's not listed here. So move over Steve Zissou (yes, it's worth a watch but not an Anderson masterpiece), let's talk how Anderson was influenced by Jacques Tati... “He has a silhouette that you can make into a cartoon; just his walk is a great creation.” — Wes Anderson on Monsieur Hulot For those that can notice it, Anderson has plenty of references towards Tati in his movies. - First, there's the staging and color schemes. (the colors

Eén van de beste films van de jaren 60 en zeg nu niet dat je 'm nog niet zag. (don't ruin my day) Visionair. Geïnspireerd. Geniaal. Tijdloos. Onovertroffen.
Several trailers exist, this is my favourite.

My ★★★★★ review of Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953) on #letterboxd: https://boxd.it/94vY4H
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953)"Like all of the very great comics, before making us laugh, Tati creates a universe. A world arranges itself around his character, crystallizes like a supersaturated solution around a grain of salt. Certainly the character created by Tati is funny, but almost accessorily, and in any case always relative to the universe. He can be personally absent from the most comical gags, for M. Hulot is only the metaphysical incarnation of a disorder that is perpetuated long after his passing." (André Bazin translated from: “M. Hulot et le temps,” 1953, in Qu’est-ce que le cinéma?, vol. I) If you haven't

“I receive a lot of lessons from dogs. They don’t have any lessons to receive from the new engineers. They always say hello to each other in their way… They didn’t change. I want to follow and understand (them). And they are, for me, marvellous comedians.”

My review of The magnificent Tati on Letterboxd.
I wrote this some years ago after seeing this vital and vivid documentary about the Hulot universe and Tati movie language(s), also known as vital and vivid.

boxd.itA ★★★★½ review of The Magnificent Tati (2009)I wrote this some years ago after seeing this vital and vivid documentary about the Hulot universe and Tati movie language(s), also known as vital and vivid. Michael House's documentary is called ‘The Magnificent TATi’ and is indeed... magnificent. This must-see documentary, running in US theatres (years ago, that is), dissects Tati's career from its beginning to the tragic ending - after the release of the ultimate Playtime/Play Time. Besides from giving a perfect summary of Tati's rather short body of work, this hour-long screening shows Tati's huge impact on the world of comedy ànd invites audiences to step into
