Can I do something else for you?

Maybe you want to look at my papers.

Well, go on!

I'm the director here

and all this is my work.

We have an excellent material. We are the

first ones who try to reach silence.

And you could call this a success.

Have you got that?

Air head!

Mister, my lamp doesn't work.

Could you...?

We'll wait in the showroom.

Come here!

It wasn't him.

He was smaller and had a scarf.

I am really sorry.

I like operettes and asked my

cousin if she wanted to join me.

Does it work? Does it?

I'm so happy. Thank you very much.

Do I owe you anything?

No, no.

It was very kind of you. Thanks.

Excuse me, could you tell me where

the New Moon showroom is?

What does my lady wish to see?

- This way...

Mister! Dear mister!

You left without your coat.

You don't mind

me helping you?

I'm so sorry, once again.

I really am.

- Mister, there's a man calling you over there.

- Hey, Hulot! You remember the army, don't you?

We'll meet over there!

They've already seen the Eiffel tower.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this way...

I want to go to New York tonight

and be in Boston...

Hello, no.

- Just a moment

Mister!

- Are you alright?

- Sure, I am.

- Mister!

- Yes?

- Wrong person, I'm very sorry.

- Oh that's alright sir.

Mister, please

excuse me but this is...

Hulot! Don't you recognize me?

Schneller, we did our military service together.

I'll be right there.

Wait for me there.

The things you have go through.

But like they say...

"Time is money." The car is new.

I've had it for two days.

I paid for it with cash.

And I have my own parking place.

Have you got any small change?

I've only got large notes.

Wait a moment, we'll find a franc.

Here's one. That's all we need.

Well, there, now you can feel calm.

Come here, and I'll show you my "home".

I bought a flat here, you see.

Why don't you come in for a while?

- I can't.

- Yes, come in with me and have a whiskey.

But what happened to you?

What happened?

- Let's see...

- I accidentally bumped.

Won't you have a small glass?

Come in and you'll see.

This year I'm going to take my vacation in june.

It was really nice of you to drop in.

Good bye.

- I thought we made an appointment.

- I was waiting at Quick.

- What is that?

- It's a self-service cafeteria. I was there at six o'clock.

What do you think about "the last look"?

But what are you doing here?

You've got the button on the other side.

It's automatic.

It reads in English.

A bit farther down. "Push."

There, yes. You see! Won't you have

a last whiskey before you leave?

No? Well, you know you can come by

any time you like. Good bye.

My ladies, use Quick Cleaner

Jacques Tati

Jacques Tati (French: [tati]; born Jacques Tatischeff, pronounced [tatiʃɛf]; 9 October 1907 – 5 November 1982) was a French filmmaker, actor, and screenwriter. Throughout his long career, he worked as a comic actor, writer, and director. In a poll conducted by Entertainment Weekly of the Greatest Movie Directors, Tati was voted the 46th greatest of all time. With only six feature-length films to his credit as director, he directed fewer films than any other director on this list of 50. Tati's Playtime (1967) ranked 43rd in the 2012 Sight & Sound critics' poll of the greatest films ever made.As David Bellos puts it, "Tati, from l'Ecole des facteurs to Playtime, is the epitome of what an auteur is (in film theory) supposed to be: the controlling mind behind a vision of the world on film". more…
