Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
PARADE

Our take
A perfect platform for the director’s signature slapstick, Jacques Tati’s last film sees him act as the virtuoso conductor of a circus, wherein both the performers and spectators take part in the whole parade! Made for Swedish television, it is Tati’s homage to the arts he had begun his career with.
