Abstract

The text is an attempt to interpret Jacques Tati’s movies. The main subject of the analysis in the essay is the concept of “humor” and “comicality”. The author reflects on the sources of comedy, its mechanisms and its limits. Comparing the acting techniques of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Peter Sellers and Jacques Tati, the author aims to understand the complex relationship between comedy and tragedy and the characteristics of what he calls “modern comedy”, in which the very notion of “modernity” is ironic and ridiculed.
