Jour De Fete – Jacques Tati

A joyful, almost silent comedy set in the French countryside. Francois, a village postman, zips through his rounds on his bicycle – the old-fashioned way. But when a traveling carnival comes to town, its proprietors show a film extolling the virtues of modern American mail delivery.

Soon the townspeople start to wonder if Francois has fallen behind the times. But Francois is about to show everyone that he has a few tricks up his sleeve… and the villagers might just rue the day they ever started to complain!
