Michel Chion [on Jacques Tati]

In this video interview, film scholar and composer Michel Chion discusses the sound design of Jacques Tati’s films. There are some excellent observations about the seemingly random sounds and noises in the films and the manner in which they enhance their atmosphere as well as Jacques Tati’s ability to use them in unique ways to ask questions and/or provide answers where their characters aren’t willing to speak. Included with the interview are clips from various films. The interview was conducted by Robert Fischer exclusively for The Criterion Collection in Paris in 2014.
