Seen as Tati’s most daring film, an enormous set was built for the film, known as “Tativille”, for which Tati participated financially, and which stretched the production of the film to 3 years.

According to French director F. Truffaut, it is “a film that comes from another planet”. A UFO, but a very friendly one!
