Anand Sudha (@anandsudha.bsky.social) on the similarities and differences between the cinema of Jacques Tati and that of Blake Edwards, as evidenced in THE PARTY (1968). animus-magazine.ghost.io/whos-invited...
!["In [Jacques] Tati’s films, chaos is reined in by those who have initiated it themselves: Tati’s humanistic philosophy conceives of people as neither successes nor failures, but as agents able to miraculously adapt after their own mistakes, somehow surviving modernity through an ingenuity that compensates for their bewilderment. As Serge Daney put it, Tati does not need an explosion of chaos because, in his films, chaos always leads to order, and vice-versa. The Party, on the other hand, careens towards catastrophe, with every gag more destructive than the last. Edwards gleefully revels in this outrageous disruption of a bourgeois order that congratulates itself on its comportment and consumption of products."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbwxhbffxaorx7jz3s6ycacf/bafkreiecjfzbqfj62xz7rnqrlzdsfd7qsttpvtphe43wc446f4ezw7fwom@jpeg)
