Les Vacances de M. Hulot: Dual Format Edition (Blu ray + DVD) RRP 19.99 
Tati, Jacques
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. Les Vacances du Monsieur Hulot is set in a sleepy French coastal resort which is seasonally disrupted by holiday-makers 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. Tatis beautifully orchestrated comic 'ballet' is a seamless succession of gently mocking studies of human absurdity.
