Jacques Tati’s hapless, old-world alter ego Monsieur Hulot traverses Paris in this quintessential example of the French auteur’s singular medley of sight gags and precise physical comedy.
Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati’s clownish yet endearing alter ego, 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 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.
