Comedy | France | French w/Eng subs | Colour | 116min | Dir: Jacques Tati Cast: Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola, Adrienne Servantie, Alain Becourt Genial, bumbling Monsieur Hulot (Jacques Tati) loves his top-floor apartment in a grimy corner of the city, and cannot fathom why his sister's family has moved to the suburbs. Their house is an ultra-modern nightmare, which Hulot only visits for the sake of stealing away his rambunctious young nephew (Alain Becourt). Hulot's sister (Adrienne Servantie), however, wants to win him over to her new way of life, and conspires to set him up with a wife and job. The social satire here is not barbed or vicious, and everybody an laugh at it and themselves. There's expert blocking out of the characters, creative use of sound, and there's virtually no. The architecture - his sister's ultra-modern house - is an uncredited, but important character that Tati expertly works into the storyline
