This biography charts Tati's rise and fall, from his earliest beginnings as a music hall mime during the Depression, to the success of Jour de Fête and Mon Oncle, to Playtime, the grandiose masterpiece that left the once celebrated director bankrupt and begging for equipment to complete his final films. Analysing Tati's singular vision, Bellos reveals the intricate staging of his most famous gags and draws upon hitherto inaccessible archives to produce a unique assessment of his work and its context for film lovers and film students alike.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: BiographyTopic: Music Dance & Theatre, Films & TVRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
