MR HULOT'S HOLIDAY


M. Hulot's Holiday
Les Vacances de M. Hulot
(1953) NR
Jacques Tati follows his acclaimed directorial debut Jour de FĂȘte with this gentle satire that introduced Tati's alter ego, Monsieur Hulot. When Hulot spends a holiday at a seaside resort, he accidentally wreaks good-natured havoc wherever he goes. Falling all over himself to impress a beautiful girl, Hulot inadvertently crashes a funeral, topples a priceless vase and ignites fireworks with his pipe -- all to hilarious effect.
