THE ASTOR REVIEW

Based on an un-produced script by Jacques Tati, and has an animated version of Tati himself in the lead role. A story about two paths that cross. An outdated, aging magician, forced to wander from country to country, city to city and station to station in search of a stage to perform meets a young girl at the start of her life’s journey. PN “…represents the magically melancholy final act of Jacques Tati’s career” Roger Ebert.
