Biography for
Monsieur Hulot (Character)
from Mr. Hulot's Holiday (1953)

Outfitted in a raincoat and beaten hat and frequently chomping on a pipe, the clumsy but sweethearted Mr. Hulot wanders about constantly befuddled and bemused by the latest innovations in fashion and technology, and unknowingly causing minor catastrophes everywhere he goes with his absent-mindedness. Whether taking a vacation at the beach (Mr. Hulot's Holiday), visiting family in the city (Mon Oncle), going to a job interview (Playtime) or just driving down the highway (Trafic), Hulot finds new ways to accidentally point out the follies and eccentricities of modern living.
