Jour de Fête
Directed by Jacques Tati
Produced by Cady Films, Panoramic Films
A charming, buoyant comedy about a bumbling provincial postman whose misadventures with mail delivery and small-town life celebrate the quirks and rhythms of rural French community.
Jour de Fête tells the story of an inept and easily-distracted French mailman who frequently interrupts his duties to converse with the local inhabitants, as well as inspect the traveling fair that has come to his small community. Influenced by too much wine and a newsreel account of rapid transportation methods used by the United States postal system, he goes to hilarious lengths to speed the delivery of mail while aboard his bicycle.
