Jacques Tati’s career, which stretched from the midthirties to the late seventies, encompasses more than just the six features for which he’s best known. The charming short films he wrote or directed are essential parts of his filmography as well. Collected here, they include three wacky 1930s comedies he wrote and starred in — On demande une brute (1934), Gai dimanche (1935), and Soigne ton gauche (1936) — and two later films he directed and starred in: L’école des facteurs (1946), which introduces the postman character reprised in Jour de fête, and Cours du soir (1967), made during the filming of PlayTime. We’re also pleased to present Dégustation maison (1977), a César-winning short by Tati’s daughter Sophie Tatischeff, short in the town from Jour de fête, and Forza Bastia (1978), a soccer documentary begun by Tati and completed by Tatischeff after his death.
