Gai dimanche (English: Fun Sunday) is a 1935 three reel film written by and starring Jacques Tati and his friend Rhum. The pair star as down-and-outs who try to generate funds by providing an impromptu leisure tour in a rickety bus they wrangle use of for free. Released in 1935 and rarely seen today, the film offers brief glimpses and hints towards methods Tati would begin to perfect in his films more than a decade later. The short was included in the Criterion Collection's "The Complete Jacques Tati" box set, in a disc containing every short Tati either directed or starred in restored in 2K, which was released on both Blu-ray and DVD on October 18, 2014.
Quitamancha, Quitamancha. El día que te aplasta, la noche que te gaste. Volumen que te eleva, manada que te lleva. La mente que decide, el cuerpo que te pide. Futuro que te acuesta y que hagan las apuestas (No va más.) Cómo poder ablandar una vida tan dura? Cómo poderme frenar en un mundo que apura? Cómo quitarme la mancha que me hace morir? Quitamancha, quitamancha. Cómo sigo parado, si miro a cada lado? Si miro para arriba encuentro la salida. Libera de la pena y quita la condena. La palabra que siento no se la lleva el viento. Si me pudiste ablandar una vida tan dura, si me pudiste frenar en un mundo que apura, si me quitaste la mancha y me haces vivir. Quitamancha, quitamancha.
