Our take
Jacques Tati’s final outing as M. Hulot, Trafic continues where Playtime left off. This time using a seemingly never-ending voyage from A to B as his playground, Trafic is a similarly sharp, ambitious parody of the chaos of modern life, highly stylized and tempered by Tati’s masterful hand.
