Cinematheque at the Chazen - Jacques Tati

In the beloved classic that revealed his multileveled comedic style, Jacques Tati first appears as the clumsy title character. Taking a beach holiday in the South of France, Hulot gets caught up in a parade of slapstick sequences that provides us the vicarious enjoyment of his numerous (mis)adventures. This new 35mm restoration allows viewing of Tati's definitive version. (88 min., subtitled; directed by Jacques Tati with Jacques Tati, Nathalie Pascaud, Micheline Rolla.)
