Jacques Tati's last film -- his least-known work, shot mostly on videotape for Swedish television -- is seldom shown, but it's a far greater achievement than most accounts would lead you to expect.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Overview
For his final film, Jacques Tati takes his camera to the circus, where the director himself serves as master of ceremonies. Though it features many spectacles, including clowns, jugglers, acrobats, contortionists, and more, Parade also focuses on the spectators, making this stripped-down work a testament to the communion between audience and entertainment.

Jacques Tati's Parade is such a slight and simple film that its subject almost seems to be self-effacing.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
It can't aspire to the meticulous mise en scene of his big screen work; and one feels saddened that this great director should have found no other outlet for his genius.
