Jacques Tati (1907-1982) was a French filmmaker. During his career, he worked as a comic actor, writer, as well as director. He only made six feature-length films. This album features theme music from four:
Jour de Fête (The Big Day)    • Jacques Tati - Soundtrack Music from ...  
Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot (Mr. Hulot's Holiday)
   • Jacques Tati - Soundtrack Music from ...  
Mon Oncle (My Uncle)    • Jacques Tati - Soundtrack Music from ...  
Play Time

Link to 'Cours du Soir' (Night Class) soundtrack music, from a vinyl album:    • Jacques Tati's 'Cours du Soir' (Night...  

'Mon Oncle' was the first of his films I saw--on the big screen, in the late 1950's. Unforgettable. Humorous and charming, it doesn't have a lot of dialog--doesn't need it.
The music too is utterly enchanting and enjoyable. In some ways, to me it is reminiscent of some of Michel Legrand's 'I Love Paris' album.
I own nothing here.

    a rare masterpiece that at last proved the best relief for a rather not good Christmas time. Thanks for sharing.

    My wife and I discovered Mr. Tati through Mr. Hulot's Holiday probably on a PBS station and were hooked. The music is fantastic and we thank you very much for posting it.

    Thanks for posting this. My favorite is Playtime. I've been lucky to live in Paris at various times, it really is the most romantic city in the world. This brings back a lot of memories.

    You are so welcome, MarkalsMe! I too enjoy Tati's films. My first was 'Mon Oncle', in a theater in the late 1950s, and I was captivated. Thank you for visiting, and commenting! Best Regards, David
