Movie Reviews of M. Hulot's Holiday - Criterion Collection
Movie Review: Oh, So Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
In most movies dialogue is critical for understanding what is happening. Not so with Jacques Tati. Dialogue is secondary in all of his films. Tati requires that the viewer watch carefully to catch all that is happening. All of his films are a visual education. Mr. Hulot's Holiday is like a fine, subtle wine that only gets better over time.
Summary of M. Hulot's Holiday - Criterion Collection
Pipe-smoking Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati's endearing clown, takes a holiday at a seaside resort where his presence provokes one catastrophe after another. Tati's wildly funny satire of vacationers determined to enjoy themselves includes a series of precisely choreographed sight gags involving dogs, boats and firecrackers. The first entry in the Hulot series is a masterpiece of gentle slapstick.Forefather of Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean, Jacques Tati's Monsieur Hulot--a recurring character in several of his movies--is a blithely clumsy troublemaker, an insouciant twit who leaves uproar in his wake without being aware of it. Trying to describe this 1953 comedy is next to impossible except to say it is a series of vignettes at a vacation resort, with the distracted Hulot providing a lot of laughs. Tati directs, and in a way what that really means is that he composes this movie with a perfect eye and ear for the comic possibilities in everything: composition, lighting, minimal marble-mouth dialogue, certain sounds (a duck call, a door repeatedly opening and shutting). This is a superior work that ranks among all-time classic comedies. --Tom Keogh
