Fromage. Champagne. Le weekend. RSVP. Baguette. The French are responsible for so much culture. D’accord? Those crazy Frenchies, they took mime, they owned it and they made it mainstream. Oui! After Buster Keaton came Jacques Tati. Tati then went on to become the French master of the fully orchestrated slapstick gag with appropriately placed slide whistle and hilarious results. Don’t speak French? Pas de problème. Tati will set you straight, it’s really not required to make it over there. Just a wiggle of your nose and everyone’s your friend. Oui! Oui! Head to Jacques Tati mini-season at Adelaide Cinematheque.
