“Hulot (M. Hulot’s Holiday). It’s one of my favourite comedy movies of all time. The trouble is it still hurts when I laugh, and I can’t stop laughing. Jacques Tati’s walk is enough to give me hysterics. I love when the English wife strolls in front of her husband wittering on about nothing and finding shells on the beach and he ignores her totally. And when Tati goes to sea in a kayak that collapses and concertinas into a shark-fin shape, sending all the swimmers into a panic; and when he plays... ping-pong in the hotel and causes chaos. And when he accidentally ignites a firework with his pipe; the ice-cream that threatens forever to topple but doesn’t – so many details that make up a brilliantly hilarious movie. There’s no real dialogue, just music and funny noises, so you don’t need to know French. I really like another of his movies – Mon Oncle (My Uncle). Perhaps we’ll watch that another time, when my ribs have stopped aching. It’s great having all Daddy’s movie collection to choose from.MoreLess
