Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Trafic is a 1971 film written by, directed by, and starring Jacques Tati.It is the fourth and last film of Tati's career to feature his signature character, Monsieur Hulot. In this film Hulot is working as an auto designer for Altra, a fictional Paris car company. Altra's new product, designed by Hulot, is a "camper car" or campervan designed for recreation off the beaten track. Unfortunately for Altra, their fancy new car doesn't actually run yet, so they must haul it to a car show in Amsterdam by van. Hulot goes with the car, accompanied by truck driver Marcel. Riding herd over both of them is Maria (fashion model Maria Kimberly in her only screen role), Altra's PR rep, who becomes increasingly frustrated when the simple task of driving the car from Paris to Amsterdam turns out to be an epic ordeal.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Jacques Tati's last theatrical feature. Tati, who never recovered financially from the box-office failure of 1967's Playtime, made only one more movie, for French television, before his death in 1982.Not to be confused with the American film Traffic or the TV minisieres Traffik that the American film was based on; both of those are about the drug trade. | |

Bilingual Bonus: The French word trafic means business trade, aka traffic in goods; the French word for auto traffic is circulacion. Tati always took a dim view of commercialism and seems to be making a point here about how the auto industry changed people. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Hulot is late for the auto show and loses his job, but he doesn't seem to mind, and he makes friends with Maria. And the camper car is, ironically, a hit with the few people still hanging around the hall. The last shot of a horde of cars stuck in a parking lot in the rain, as people walk between them—all dressed in black, with black umbrellas—is more downbeat. | |
