In Le Suquet, a father and his son (or is it an uncle and his nephew?) are looking at posters of four Jacques Tati movies: “Jour de fête”, “Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot”, “Mon Oncle”, and “Playtime”. In fact, with his trademark raincoat and umbrella, isn’t it Jacques Tati himself who is admiring these posters? What’s going on here? Well, there is nothing at all real about this entire scene: there is no fence and no sidewalk, and there are no windows, no posters, no people. It’s all painted on a perfectly flat, window-less facade, a great example of Trompe-l'œil (literally, “deceive the eye”). There are a few such “eye deceptions” in Cannes, and they’re all about the film industry. This particular one is a bit off the beaten track; I didn’t discover it until this past Saturday.
