Les Films de Mon Oncle
Directed by: Jacques Tati
For his final film, Jacques Tati takes his camera to the circus, where the director himself serves as master of ceremonies. Though it features many spectacles, including clowns, jugglers, acrobats, contortionists, and more, Parade also focuses on the spectators, making this stripped-down work a testament to the communion between audience and entertainment. Created for Swedish television (with Ingmar Bergman’s legendary director of photography Gunnar Fischer serving as one of its cinematographers), Parade is a touching career send-off that recalls its maker’s origins as a mime and theater performer.

Release Notes on Restoration

Parade
Parade is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.37:1. On widescreen televisions, black bars will appear on the left and right of the image to maintain the proper screen format. The new digital transfer was created in 2K resolution on an ARRISCAN film scanner from 35mm internegative at Épinay-sur-Seine, France, where the film was also restored. The 2012 restoration was undertaken by Les Films de Mon Oncle with the support of Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée and BNP Paribas.

The original monaural soundtrack was remastered at 24-bit at L.E. Diapason in Épinay-sur-Seine, France, from the original magnetic track.
