Since the animated comic melancholia that was The Illusionist in February, I've been meaning to delve further into the work of French funster (his words...) Jacques Tati.
As much as I love comedy, i'm pretty ignorant to the ways of silent comedy but I'm prepared to start with Tati. If only because you should start with Keaton or Chaplin and I have to be different.
I don't know what it is that makes him appeal to me... Maybe its the sense that he only made 4 or 5films and spent so long developing them, as in years - which breeds the sense that they were made to the best of his ability and obviously, others percieved his talent to be peerless so...
