Lovely Jacques Tati comedy, again featuring the bumbling M. Hulot. He gets caught up in his sister's ultra-modern home and her husband's factory, where events progress like a lazy, laconic French reincarnation of Modern Times. Very little happens, but it happens with a slow, delightful charm, like a morning stroll along a country road. It's a simple pleasure, but a wonderful one.
