Blu-ray - 2026
Jacques Tati's nearly wordless comedy masterpiece follows Monsieur Hulot and other lost souls navigating a bewildering, high-tech Paris. A three-year production packed with visual gags and inventive detail, it satirizes modernity with humor and grace, creating a dazzling widescreen spectacle that captures an era teetering on the brink of oblivion.
