Review of Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953) by Michael H — 24 Apr 2014
Janus Films is touring a newly restored, newly struck 35 mm print of this charming film. It looks great! The movie retains it's charm, humor and wry insight. I think many of the gags could have been improved by allowing them to develop a bit longer but they're still good as is.
Undoubtedly influential and I have no doubt that Steve Martin, Rowan Atkinson and Peter Sellers studied Jacques Tati's Hulot. I found it also a bit reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's gentle family films such as My Neighbor Totoro.
