M. Hulot's Holiday (Dual Format Edition - Blu-Ray and DVD)
A$41.99
The film that brought Jacques Tati international acclaim also launched his on-screen alter ego: the courteous, well-meaning, eternally accident prone Monsieur Hulot with whom Tati would from now on be inseparably associated. As with Jour de fête, the film is set in a sleepy French coastal resort which is seasonally disrupted by holidaymakers in energetic pursuit of fun. At the centre of the chaos is the eccentric Hulot, struggling at all times to maintain appearances, but somehow entirely divorced from his immediate surroundings. There is little plot in Tati’s beautifully orchestrated ‘ballet’ of comic action: it’s a series of incidents, a seamless succession of gently mocking studies of human absurdity.
Extra Features:
- Newly remastered to High Definition
- Includes two different cuts of the film
- Dual Format Edition: includes both Blu-ray and the DVD versions of the main feature
- Interview with filmmaker Richard Lester (A Hard Days Night, Superman II) (DVD only)
- Original trailers for Les Vacances de M. Hulot, Mon Oncle and Playtime
- Extensive illustrated booklet featuring essays and film notes
