M. Hulot’s Holiday | Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot
Directed by Jacques Tati, 114 minutes, France, Janus Films, 1953. With Jacques Tati, Nathalie Pascaud, Michèle Rolla.
A relentless tinkerer, Tati re-edited his 1953 original twice: in the early 60s, he cut out some shots and extended others, while re-mixing the sound, recording a new, re-orchestrated version of Alain Romans’ score, and adding the final color shot of the stamp. In 1978 he shot and cut in new footage on the beach. This brand new restoration, working from the much-spliced camera negative and final track, now allows viewing of Tati’s definitive vision.
