There is a musical called Anna, which starts Anna Karina and Serge Gainsbourg (who also wrote the music). It was directed by Pierre Koralnik. Anyway you can buy it at Mod Cinema, or you can download it with English Subtitles as a torrent or without subtitles off rapidshare (just enter the code on the left hand side to get the full links). The full download is 700MB.
There are also some bits and bobs on youtube.

I was looking at this site with scans of Criterion Box Art when I saw the art for Trafic, I didn't know it was out (it came out in July) and was happy to see it. There is also a film being released next year based on a Tati script which should be fun. The DVD bonus features for Trafic actually make it worth buying, the bonus features for the last four Tati releases have been so-so.

Qui a tué Bambi? (Who killed Bambi) is an excellent film, but what really stands out is the music. Most of this was done by François Eudes. Unfortunately there is no official soundtrack, but some of his more recent projects have been released like the soundtrack to À L'Intérieur (Inside), though it's hard to find.
There is a bootleg compilation here though which is quite good, and also an unofficial (bootleg) soundtrack to Haute Tension (High Tension) here.
There is also an interview with him here.
