Featuring: Jacques Tati
In Jacques Tati’s Trafic, the bumbling Monsieur Hulot, kitted out as always with tan raincoat, beaten brown hat, and umbrella, takes to Paris’s highways and byways. In this, his final outing, Hulot is employed as an auto company’s director of design, and accompanies his new product (a “camping car” outfitted with absurd gadgetry) to an auto show in Amsterdam. Naturally, the road there is paved with modern-age mishaps. This late-career delight is a masterful demonstration of the comic genius’s expert timing and sidesplitting knack for visual gags, and a bemused last look at technology run amok.

Release Notes on Restoration
Trafic
Trafic is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.37:1. On widescreen televisions, black bars will appear on the left and right of the image to maintain the proper screen format. This new digital transfer was created in 2K resolution on an ARRISCAN film scanner from the orginal negative at Éclair in Épinay-sur-Seine, France, where the film was also restored. The 2013 restoration was undertaken by Les Films de Mon Oncle with the support of Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée.
The original monaural soundtrack was remastered at 24-bit at L.E. Diapason in Épinay-sur-Seine, France, from the original 35mm magnetic track of the film's final sound mix.
