Centre culture l jacques tati biography

Jacques Tati's Monsieur Hulot, unmistakeable with his pipe, brolly and striped socks, was a creation of sheer slapstick genius that made audiences around the world laugh at the sheer absurdity of life.

Analysing Tati's enskild vision, Bellos reveals the intricate staging of his most famous gags and draws upon hitherto inaccessible archives to produce a unique assessment of his work and its context for spelfilm lovers and film students alike.

L'Idéal Cinéma Jacques Tati
L'Idéal Cinéma Jacques Tati is a cinema in Aniche, France, built in 1995 on the site of the old L'Idéal Cinéma demolished in 1993.[1] It is named in honor of the French filmmaker Jacques Tati.
The original building was constructed for La Chambre Syndicale des Verriers (Glass Workers' Union), and inaugurated as the local headquarters of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) on 26 January 1902.[2] The cinema's first public film performance took place on 23 November 1905.[3] Since then, the building has been renovated several times, and its former names include La Salle de L’Hôtel du Syndicat CGT and Splendid Cinéma à L'Hôtel du Syndicat. The old building was demolished in 1993 and it was replaced with the Centre Culturel Claude Berri including the movie theatre L'Idéal Cinéma Jacques Tati in 1995.
