French label Carlotta Films has released a trailer for the recently restored original version of Jacques Tati's classic comedy Jour de fete (1949), starring Jacques Tati, Henri Marquet, and Guy Decomble. The new restoration will have its theatrical premiere in France on July 24th.
Jour de fete was restored in 2K by Les Films de mon Oncle. The restoration was introduced earlier this year in the Classics section of the Cannes Film Festival.
Synopsis: One of Jacques Tati's most famous comedies, and his directorial debut. After observing the high-speed efficiency of the American postal serivice, the postman (Tati) of a sleepy French town is inspired to add a little zip into his own delivery route. This coincides with the arrival of the summer fair, and chaos ensues.
Note: Prior to the restoration, Jour de fete was released on Blu-ray in the United Kingdom. You can see our listing and review of this release here.
