Trademark:

Often leaves hints about the theme of his next feature film. For example, the ending of Mon Oncle paves the way for the technology-minded Play Time, and the balletic representation of cars in Play Time leads to Trafic. By those standards, the film that would have followed Trafic would be about space travel or subways. See more »
