This is Tati\'s first feature film. It wass shot in b/w and and developmental colour format from (French) Thompson. In the end, only the b/w version was ever shown due to technical difficulties, until in 1995 the Thompsoncolour version culd be restored. This is the colour version.
Plot:
Once a year the fair comes for one day to the little town \'Sainte-Severe-sur-Indre\'. All inhabiters are scoffing at Francois, the postman, what he seems not to recognize. The rising of the flagstaff under his direction nearly leads into a catastrophy - but everybody tells him, how important his work is. Sneering up Francois continues in the evening of the festive day. Made drunk, some \'friends\' persuade him to watch a short-movie in a tent. This film is a stunt-show, covered as \'The modern delivery-techniques of the US-post. Francois takes it serious, not recognizing being teased. Next day, after getting sober in a goods wagon, he reorganizes his own delivery-methods. He has not the equipment, as his ideals in the short-movie have, but using only his bicycle, he makes good, funny progresses.
Video quality is identic to my master, a not-gorgeously but okay recompressed DVD-R.
