Review of Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953) by Harry E — 24 Dec 2007
Tati sets up this whole film as a canvas for his unique style of physical comedy. He's completely free of the constraints of traditional plot structure, which might annoy some viewers. It's a string of vignettes with lovely sight gags superbly staged and executed with wonderful subtlety.
He meanders fluidly from setup to setup, and the result is calm and pleasant and hilarious and beautiful.
