Ticket Ballot: Screen Epiphany: Monsieur Hulot's Holiday + introduction by Sally Potter

Five years in the making, this charmingly idiosyncratic film marks the debut appearance of director Tati's alter-ego, Monsieur Hulot: a gangly and awkward Frenchman, perpetually the centre and probable cause of a whirlwind of pratfalls, mishaps and disasters. Tati's impeccable timing, scrupulous attention to detail and lightness of touch betray all the qualities of a master filmmaker at work. This joyous Holiday is not one to be missed!
