Jacques Tati Jean-Pierre Zola Adrienne Servantie

Plot

Hulot clashes with his sister's ultra-modern, gadget-filled house.

Sinekatalog’s take

Jacques Tati's gentle satire sets Monsieur Hulot against a cold, modern gadget-filled house. Almost wordless and visually delightful, it is a witty comedy about modern life and an Oscar winner.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
