Sinopsis:
- [fuente] Un hombre recoge el correo, donde encuentra una carta perfumada. Es de su novia, pero no son buenas noticias... Étaix, asistente y escritor de gags para Jacques Tati en "Mon Oncle" debuta con este corto donde puede verse la influencia de Tati.
En Allociné se escribió:Un homme reçoit une lettre de rupture de sa bien-aimée qui lui renvoie sa photo déchiré. L'amoureux blessé décide de répondre à cette missive. Stylo à encre, porte-plume, table de travail, timbres-poste, papier et encrier deviennent diaboliquement récalcitrants et comble de malheur, le jeune homme se retrouve éjecté par la fenêtre de son fauteuil à bascule.
IMDb: When picking up his mail, a man is excited to see a letter from his sweetheart. His excitement turns to sorrow when he gets home to his flat and sees that it is a Dear John letter. But that sorrow turns to anger as he figures that he will send her a Dear Jane letter in return. However, writing that letter isn't as easy as he hopes as he encounters one problem after another, from a broken fountain pen, to a temperamental ink well, to stuck stamps, to a broken desk.
A French comedy master whose films went unseen for decades as a result of legal tangles, director-actor Pierre Etaix is a treasure the cinematic world has rediscovered and embraced with relish. His work can be placed on the spectrum of classic physical comedy with that of Jacques Tati and Jerry Lewis, but it also stands alone in its good- natured delicacy. These films, influenced by Etaix’s experiences as a circus acrobat and clown and by the silent film comedies he adored, are elegantly deadpan, but as an on-screen presence, Etaix radiates warmth.
This collection includes all of his films, five features, The Suitor,Yoyo, As Long as You’ve Got Your Health, Le grand amour, and Land of Milk and Honey—most of them collaborations with the great screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière—and three shorts, Rupture, the Oscar-winning Happy Anniversary, and Feeling Good. Not one of these is anything less than a bracing and witty delight. (Criterion)
