Description
Heralded as one of the funniest men in the world by The New York Times, Jacques Tati centers his fantasy film Parade exclusively around the circus. Here is Tati at his finest, offering gloriously funny visual gags that flow beautifully from one act to another. Tati's rich genius touches on everything from the celebration of children to the comic vignettes of real people. Tati himself appears as Monsieur Loyal with some of the finest mime and visual humor since the days of Chaplin and Keaton. A true masterpiece of wit and wry humor.

An Array of Circus Pandemonium July 14, 2006
R. DelParto (Virginia Beach, VA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Jacques Tati is the ringleader and showman in one of his last films, PARADE. The film does have the same format as Tati's past films, but rather appears to be an 85-minute French TV variety show of circus acts that Tati presents to an audience, such as symphony performers who do acrobatic feats as well as flamenco dancers, and many more. The film may have ran a little too long.
The beginning and parts of the film appear ambiguous. For example, there is a scene where a woman at the hat check keeps a closet full of helmets, and the continuous shots of a little boy in the audience. Despite the dated look of the film and fragment of scenes, Tati does not disappoint his audience. He provides his own small comedic and pantomime vignettes, such as fly fishing and his attempt to sing with an orchestra, which is show in intermissions between the other entertainers' performances.
PARADE will delight viewers who enjoy watching the craftsmanship of a legendary comedian. Indeed, Tati provides timeless humor and comedy, but this may be recommended for the diehard and curious fan of Jacques Tati.
