Overview

Genial, bumbling Monsieur Hulot loves his top-floor apartment in a grimy corner of the city, and cannot fathom why his sister's family has moved to the suburbs. Their house is an ultra-modern nightmare, which Hulot only visits for the sake of stealing away his rambunctious young nephew. Hulot's sister, however, wants to win him over to her new way of life, and conspires to set him up with a wife and job.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gently anarchic comedy about a beloved chaos agent resisting the suffocating order of modern suburban life. It's less about plot than the pleasure of watching Hulot's graceful bumbling expose the absurdity of progress.
