Screening: 'Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday'

The Guild's season continues with a screening of Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday.

Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday
Jacques Tati | France | 1953 | 86 min | French with English subtitles | Rated U
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.

“Orchestrated with incomparable care and joyous delight by a rare specimen, a master craftsman and artist of comedy.” (Deep Focus Review)
