IMDb Trailer

Clumsy Monsieur Hulot finds himself perplexed by the intimidating complexity of a gadget-filled Paris. He attempts to meet with a business contact but soon becomes lost. His roundabout journey parallels that of an American tourist, and as they weave through the inventive urban environment, they intermittently meet, developing an interest in one another. They eventually get together at a chaotic restaurant, along with several other quirky characters.

Editor's Notes

Note

The PlayTime 4K screenshots thread has people losing it over the production design. Wes Anderson comparisons are everywhere. The transfer is getting first-time Tati viewers to watch a 1967 film, which is the job.
