MR. HULOT'S HOLIDAY / MON ONCLE Jacques Tati Double Feature! July 9, 2011

Saturday, July 9 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: Restored Print! MR. HULOT’S HOLIDAY (LES VACANCES DE MONSIEUR HULOT), 1953, Janus Films, 85 min. Director Jacques Tati’s first film starring Monsieur Hulot finds the irascible Frenchman on vacation in a petite resort town. Hulot attempts to keep his slapstick clumsiness at bay and to blend in with the hilariously habituated bourgeoisie, but with little success. In French with English subtitles. [35mm]
Restored Print! MON ONCLE, 1958, Janus Films, 117 min. Dir. Jacques Tati. M. Hulot is let loose to discover - in his bumbling yet affable manner - the awkward, comic, and hopelessly new-fangled advances of domestic modernism. As usual, our inept hero is uncomfortable with the more socialized adult species, and finds a playful soulmate in his young nephew. This is the English-language version that Tati shot simultaneously. [35mm]
