Maybe because it’s the debut of M. Hulot, LES VACANCES DE MONSIEUR HULOT (MR. HULOT’S HOLIDAY) isn’t quite as consistent, coherent, or radical in its messaging as MON ONCLE (1958). What it IS, however, is a string of great bits and vibes from the French coast. In this episode, we run down our favorite gags from the film, discuss how it distills the bizarre experience of vacationing, ponder its use of sound to show silent film jokes, and spend more than the usual amount of time talking about Mario Tennis.
