Jacques Tati's vision was to focus on the ordinary and transform
it into the surreal; he used nonprofessionals-schoolchildren,
tourists-to turn cinema into an arena in which to display the
paradoxical business of daily life. David Bellos, the Goncourt
Prize-winning biographer of Georges Perec, has produced a fully
rounded picture of Tati as an artistic creator, a man who thought
not in words but in moving images, and who produced such successes
as Jour de Fte, Mr. Hulot's Holiday, and Mon Oncle.
