masterpiece short by René Clément - Jacques Tati
16 November 2019
"Soigne ton gauche" is a great surprise thanks to to artistic direction by René Clément, but I think you have to be french to appreciate in big laughs all the farm context and characters. As in "Gai dimanche", there are some early Tati's future gags and characters, like the postman François from "l'Ecole des facteurs" and "Jour de fête". In the 30's, Tati did a lot of music hall shows imitating funnily sportsmen, from tennis to boxing. Here Tati tries boxing as an amateur facing a brutal champion, he learns on the ring improvising from a book. This short has fast paced editing so gags are also very fast for spontaneous laughs.
