5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've ever read- Period!, September 13, 2000
Anybody who has every experienced that odd feeling of fascination while watching a Tati film will find Chion's cinematic psychotherapy a beautiful treasure. Chion is a wonderful poet and a brilliant film theorist; I would expect nothing less to pay tribute to Tati's magnificent artistry.

3.0 out of 5 stars May not be the right choice..., May 3, 2005
By Chris Bassett (Palm Bay, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Films of Jacques Tati (Picas Series 40) (Paperback)
Very poetic, lyrical writing style with some interesting thoughts about Tati's films. HOWEVER, and it's a big however, this may not be the right book for you if you're looking for a more historical or biographic story behind Tati and his work. That's what I was looking for, and I didn't really find it here. If you're looking for a straightforward chronologic analysis of Tati's films, read David Bellos' book instead.
