For those Volks in the New York City area here is a rare chance to see the
wonderfully silly French camping van movie "Traffic" (not to be confused
with the soon-to-be-released Hollywood product of same name) at the American
Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, NY.

From the museum program: "TRAFFIC 1971, 96 mins. With Maria Kimberly. In
this sardonic road movie, Mr. Hulot travels from Paris to Amsterdam to
premiere his companyıs latest gadget-laden camping vehicle. Hilarious
highway situations ensue, culminating in a disastrous multi-car,
domino-effect collision akin to Godardıs pile-up in Weekend. In the lyrical
ending, Hulotıs signature umbrella unfurls in a field of rainbow-colored
umbrellas."

This car-centric, thoughtful masterpiece by Jacques Tati will be playing on
Saturday, December 23 and again on Sunday, December 31.  Schedule and info

Or, look for it in the foreign section of your best video shop.

Cheers,
