L'École des facteurs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

L'École des facteurs ("School for Postmen") is a short film directed by Jacques Tati in 1947. Tati plays a French postman adamant to prove he can be just as fast as American postmen at delivering mail. The film includes several sight gags that involve his bicycle. He replicated most of the action here in his first major feature film, Jour de fête, released two years later.

The 15 minute film is included on the Mon Oncle DVD, part of the Criterion Collection.
