National Senior Citizens Day: Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday
We didn’t know there’s an annual National Senior Citizens Day until now, so we’re celebrating it with Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday, one of Jacques Tati‘s most irrepressible films in which he himself plays Hulot, an amalgam of Chaplin, Keaton and Jerry Lewis, all rolled into one! In this outing, our clown is on holiday at a seaside resort, where his presence provokes one comedic catastrophe after another. (1953, in French with English subtitles, 83 minutes.)
