MovieMail, the UK’s leading quality DVD and Blu-ray retailer, is delighted to announce the exclusive release of Trafic, available for the first time ever on UK DVD from November 16th 2009.
Trafic was Jacques Tati’s final outing as the bumbling, amiable Monsieur Hulot, one of cinema’s most beloved comic screen personas, following his appearance in films such as Les Vacances de M. Hulot, Mon Oncle and Playtime.
In Trafic he accompanies his car firm’s new vehicle – an absurd Hulot-esque camper van – to a motor show in Amsterdam. This prescient satire on man’s obsession with motorised transport mixes wonderful observational comedy with laugh-out-loud moments.
As ever, Tati’s subtle choreography of people and objects is a rewarding lesson in how to see the world anew.
