Monsieur Hulot's Holiday
“It's laugh-vacation time!”
Comedy
Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati’s endearing clown, takes a holiday at a seaside resort, where his presence provokes one catastrophe after another. Tati’s masterpiece of gentle slapstick is a series of effortlessly well-choreographed sight gags involving dogs, boats, and firecrackers; it was the first entry in the Hulot series and the film that launched its maker to international stardom.
VIBE
A charmingly chaotic summer vacation unfolds with gentle, sight-gag-driven humor. It's a whimsical, nostalgic look at leisure and the endearing awkwardness of an outsider trying to fit in. Pure, lighthearted fun.
