Jour de fête is a charming film, in which the audience remains entertained throughout with a number of comical incidents. However, the audience is also introduced to the way in which the speed of the developing modern-day world, contrasts with the small rural french village. This theme is explored by Francois, the postman, who is subjected to constant ridicule from his fellow villagers.
At the village fête Francois watches a film on the speed at which American mail is delivered. As he takes his job very seriously he becomes disheartened and feels it is necessary for him to meet this standard. However, after all his ineffective efforts to improve, he learns a very important lesson from the lady with the goat (who appears frequently throughout the film, and introduces the audience to numerous members of the village,) which is that 'good news can wait.' This is certainly a comical film, and in my opinion lovers of Chaplin would definitely find this an engaging watch.
