Awesome Homage: Wes Anderson Loves Jacques Tati Obviously

So check out this recent Wes Anderson commercial. There's some actor in it who I don't recognize. Probably no one big.

Wes does Jacques



Then check out these clips by the master himself.

From Mon Oncle



From Mr. Hulot Takes a Holiday



From Playtime



And also from Mon Oncle



Now, admittedly, these clips probably aren't going to translate to our modern JOA audience but, hey, remember this, if they were good enough to influence Wes Anderson, they're good enough to influence you. (What you think you're so good you don't need influences? Lucky you.)
