Tati-athon in Amagansett
On Saturday and Sunday, Christian Scheider will present a two-day mini-marathon of the cinematic work of Jacques Tati at the Amagansett Library.
The French director, who died in 1982, had a background in music hall and mime performance that he mined to perfect the art of the sight gag. His career spanned 1932 to 1978, and in 2010 a film, “The Illusionist,” was made from his writing. He was known specifically for his recurring character Monsieur Hulot, a bumbling man lost in a modern age.
The free program will be held from noon to 3 p.m. both days.
