Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953)

An absolute gem of a film. If you've never seen it try to find it.

Wiki
Les Vacances introduced the character of Mr. Hulot and follows his adventures in France during the mandatory August vacation at a beach resort, lampooning several hidebound elements of French political and social classes.

The hotel in which Mr. Hulot stays is still there, and a statue memorialising the director has been erected on the beach.

Thinking of a French beach break for a few days...

Also, the dining room doors in this excellent film, 'bong' each time they open. Like the top office in Just saying. 'sHoliday

Now playing: Monsieur's Hulot's Holiday

I couldn't think of a better way to ring in the first day of summer than with the perfect vacation movie!

This movie is so near and dear to my heart, y'all. Third-favorite movie behind the original Night of the Living Dead and Jaws!

It's a movie that I would encourage everyone to give a shot, especially with it being on HBO Max and the Criterion Channel.

I'll be humming the main theme for *days.* And that's a really good thing, that. No complaints here!

Wooden on the angle of the narrow & inappropriately-named Great Thorne St in the tangled remnant blocks behind Edgecliff Station.
On a tiny block, this wacky agglomeration of construction would make proud in !

Selbst die Filme von haben heute ein Vorführverbot...aber "Dirty Dancing" geht klar?

Was für eine lächerliche Regelung.
Ich tanze dann mal in die Küche. 🕺

March 31: Spot the Tower on

Never was or will I be a fan of Jacques , the loveable Luddite who wouldn't be as big as he became if it wasn't for the technological wonders of the 20th century. Having said that, his (1967) holds a special place in my heart. Tati's alter ego Monsieur roams a hyper-modern , actually an enormous soundstage dubbed . People, buildings and gadgets interact with and against each other, each and everyone as plotless as a prop. In unison, it becomes a perfectly orchestrated symphony of maddening modernism. But Tati wouldn't be Tati if it wasn't for a glimpse of quiet nostalgia. A woman holding the glass-and-steel entrance door of yet another concrete office building. In the glass, a burst of warm light and colour and movement. And then it's gone, and we remember how that tower once was the thorn in the Luddite's eye, that “baroque and mercantile fancy of a builder of machines”.

Turner Classic Movies is running the Jacques Tati slapstick beach comedy Monsieur Hulot's Holiday today at 2:30 PM EDT, and I have to do EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO HYPE THAT UP FOR Y'ALL.

If you can watch it, watch it. If you can record it, record it.

If you can't do that, HBO Max and Criterion Channel have that available for streaming!

And even better, HBO Max has the follow-up, Mon Oncle, available as well.

And even even better, Criterion Channel has all six of Tati's feature-length movies (including Tati's feature-film debut Jour de Fete, the amazing and criminally overlooked Playtime, the terrific Trafic, and his charming final effort Parade).

I can't overstate how much I love love love love love love Monsieur Hulot's Holiday. Third-favorite movie behind the original Night of the Living Dead and Jaws.

So utterly worth it.

Tonight's father-son feature presentation at the Magras Film Archive. Yet another of the greatest films ever made.
