Janus Films
Directed by Jacques Tati
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Jacques Tati is a postman on bicycle in rural France. He arrives in a small town on the day of their festival. He helps put up the flag pole, stops to drink a little too much wine and watches a film about the efficiency of the American postal system. He tries to emulate it without much success, but learns that fast is not always the best. It's basically a series of sight gags, occasionally amusing but rarely funny. The film is spruced up a bit by some hand coloring on select scenes, highlighting the colors of the French flag, a balloon, etc.
