Review 4K Movie

A wonderful film with a magical atmosphere! Paris is shown here not in a classic way, but... I would say, in a retro-futuristic way. The style of the film is very unusual—taciturn, complex, technical, paying most of its attention to the little things and details that are so interesting to discover as the plot unfolds.

The story is divided into several parts. I liked the one in the restaurant the most—it was the most atmospheric and entertaining, in my opinion. In general, it's hard to call the film funny; the humor here is too light and subtle to make you laugh, but at the same time it's cute and unobtrusive.

This film evoked some (pleasant) associations in me, but I can't yet understand what they are. It's like nostalgia for something I never knew. For a time when I wasn't yet born. The aftertaste of the film is very vivid, leaving me with the desire to watch it again someday.

Oh yes, I can't help but say a few words about the main character played by Jacques Tati. A cute oddball, clumsy, kind. While watching, I didn't know that he was related to the cartoon The Illusionist, but by the end of the film, I had no doubt that the cartoon character was based on him. And indeed, they are so similar—from his gait to his character. It's funny.
