Trafic / Italy / France / 1971
With M. Hulot prominent in the cast, Trafic is careful effort by Jacques Tati, made during his late, insolvent career. In his previous Hulot films, Tati’s interests are progressively collective and observant instead of narrative (in Playtime, the cumulative film in this progression, M. Hulot is sometimes unnoticed in the film’s periphery). Both Mon Oncle and Playtime contain scenes that satirize a workday commute on a crowded highway; Trafic is essentially an extension of one of these scenes. It’s familiar, and nonetheless spirited and inventive.
