Cours du Soir (Evening Classes) is a thirty-minute short film in which Jacques Tati demonstrates the art of mime to a group of enthusiastic students. Amongst skits performed are those of a tennis player and a horse rider – sketches that initially brought Tati acclaim on music hall stages in the 1930s. Nicolas Ribowski directed the short on the set of Playtime in 1966.[3]
