The great comedian/director Jacques Tati’s 1967 comedy, focusing on events taking place during a single day and set in an enormous phantasmagorical movie set, recalls both Ulysses and Jerry Lewis’s The Ladies Man. Tati also pays homage to animator Tex Avery’s cautionary cartoon The House Of Tomorrow when he finds himself in an exhibit touting technological advances that are more horrifying than heartening. In short, a movie-lover’s dream date. Filmed in 70mm over the course of two years, Tati’s meta-masterpiece was not a commercial success, perhaps because, in Truffaut’s words, “it is a film that comes from another planet, where they make films differently.”...

There are already too many Holden Caulfields in the field of teenage narration. Books that ably capture the tone J.D. Salinger pioneered are homages; every substandard imitator is an insult. The sheltered teen who is the subject of Peter Bognanni’s debut, The House Of Tomorrow, couldn’t spot a phony at 40 paces, but his quirks stay novel because they don’t have to bear the plot’s weight. Since his parents were killed in a plane crash, Sebastian has lived with his grandmother in Iowa’s only geodesic dome, promoted on billboards along the highway as a ...
