Monsieur Hulot's Holiday

Directed by Jacques Tati

Written by Jacques Tati, Pierre Aubert, Henri Marquet, Jacques Tati, Henri Marquet

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.
