This delightful quartet of shorts showcases both Étaix’s superlative gifts for visual comedy and his astute commentary on the everyday sensory assaults of contemporary society. The Tati-esque middle section highlights hapless urbanites as they to maneuver their way through a cinema-trip-turned-consumerist- nightmare (“The Movies”) and a series of mishaps brought about by construction, congestion, and stress (the titular short). Étaix bookends these with “Insomnia,” a formally playful look at a sleep-deprived man’s disorientation as he begins to confuse real life with the vampire novel he reads in bed; and “Into the Woods No More,” in which an afternoon in the country becomes an endless string of perils and pratfalls for a hunter, a farmer, and a bourgeois couple looking for just the right spot to picnic.
