A masterpiece of gentle slapstick!!!!!!!!!!!!, 5 September 2001
10/10
Author: anton-6 from sweden

Pipe smoking Monsieur Hulot,Jacques Tati´s endearing clown takes a holiday at a seaside resort where his presence provokes one catastrophe after another.

If you going to watch Tati I think you should start with this. It´s one of the funniest movies ever made.

Beautiful filmed in black and white.And there are almost no talk in this film.It´s like a silent film.

RATING: 5/5
