Monsieur Hulot's Holiday
It's laugh-vacation time!
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.

Anyone remember the “Huggetts”? Well I reckon Jacques Tati had similar frolics in mind when he despatched “M. Hulot” on holiday just a few years after they had had their own holiday camp experience. Unlike them, though, “Hulot” has the seaside to serve as the foil for his dead-pan, slapstick, escapades as his arrival at a hitherto peaceful resort causes an equal measure of mayhem and havoc.
