MONSIEUR HULOT'S HOLIDAY // Bargain Bin Film School

dir: Jacques Tati - 1953 - 1 hrs 27 mins

Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati’s endearing clown, takes a holiday at a seaside resort, where his presence provokes one catastrophe after another. Tati’s masterpiece of gentle slapstick is a series of effortlessly well-choreographed sight gags involving dogs, boats, and firecrackers; it was the first entry in the Hulot series and the film that launched its maker to international stardom.

Bargain Bin Film School is the only non-accredited film school in the greater Kansas City Area taught by one person who's only taken ONE film class in college and another person that's maybe been to more than one. Each month BBFS looks at a heralded or overlooked classic of world cinema, but this time with less film bros ad more fun.
