Le Grand Jacques
Jacques Tati’s films should be universal,
They have so little dialogue and chat;
Yet, for some, his cinema bewilders,
The satire and comedy fall flat.
Perhaps it is the Frenchness of it all –
A supposed intellectual conceit –
Or maybe it’s down to Monsieur Hulot,
Whom he chose to interpret and repeat.
Is there not a hint of pretentiousness,
Do miming and humour...
