Directed by Jacques Tati • 1958 • France, ItalyStarring Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola, Adrienne Servantie Slapstick prevails again when Jacques Tati’s eccentric, old-fashioned hero, Monsieur Hulot, is set loose in Villa Arpel, the geometric, oppressively ultramodern home of his brother-in-law, and in the antiseptic plastic hose factory where he gets a job.
