Jaqques Tati for the novice and experienced.By awesselsBellos biography of Jaqcques Tati do not only provide a detailed historical description; but brings Tati the producer and actor alive right there on the kindle. For the novice; it certainly tantalizes you to Tatis films within a few chapters; confirming the acutely sensitive understanding of the French artist. The historical contexts remained interesting. A good read for any one interested in biography; history; film and art. The rather detailed descriptions of all the film productions perhaps for the specialist reader.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Almost all you wanted to know about Mr HulotBy Charles J ZiarkoWell-researched and organized and gave me a lot of insight into the man behind the internationally famous M. Hulot. Interesting production information; but would have been happier with more production details and more detailed credits.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. excellentBy Angela Lloydexcellent
