Trafic is a 1971 comedy directed by Jacques Tati and starring himself, Maria Kimberly and Marcel Fraval.
Well holy Jesus, I didn't expect to watch a film as beautiful as Playtime anytime soon and just a week later here we are, I stated in the title that this is the worst of the Hulot films but I have to say it might just be the best looking, in fact this might be, no joke, the best looking color film I have ever seen, it is absolutely gorgeous.
Just like Hulot's previous films Trafic is really funny and interesting however it's not as wondrous as Mr Hulot's Holiday, My Uncle and Playtime which makes it less memourable and enjoyable then those, however don't take me wrong, this is still a really great film it's just that it was a little underwhelming, since the other Hulot films instantly became some of my favourite films of all time, especially Playtime which might be my favourite comedy.
However one thing that I really love about this film (aside from the color) is the ending it's such a great moment when, after arriving in Amsterdam, it starts raining and Mr. Hulot finnaly gets to use his trusty umbrella, I honestly felt a bit emotional, as Mr. Hulot has become one of my favourite characters in film and this is his last apperance in a film as far as I know. 8.1/10
