JACQUES TATI | FRANCE, ITALY | 1967 | 124 MIN | NR | FRENCH, ENGLISH, GERMAN 

Perfecting his knack for slapstick and clever visual antics, filmmaker Jacques Tati’s crowning achievement finds his perpetually naive alter-ego Monsieur Hulot fumbling through an absurd, consumer-driven futuristic Paris devoid of any culture and meaningful connection.

Cast: Jacques Tati, Barbara Dennek, Rita Maiden
