Sylvain Chomet directs this hand-drawn animated feature based on an unproduced script that the French comic Jacques Tati wrote in 1956 for his daughter. Set in the late 1950s, the film tells the story of an ageing Paris illusionist whose career has come under threat from the increasing popularity of cinema and pop music. No longer able to find an audience for his card tricks and rabbit-out-of-a-hat routine, he takes to the road in the hope of earning a living elsewhere. When he travels to an isolated community in Scotland, he meets a girl who is convinced that he is a real magician, and a special bond develops between the two.

The third movie in French film-maker Jacques Tati's series of comedies in which he stars as the accident-prone Monsieur Hulot, who creates chaos wherever he goes. Hulot and a group of American women tourists travel through Paris. While he struggles to keep an appointment, they search for the romantic Paris of old. Tati's satirical view of modern city life was played out entirely on a vast mobile set, known as `Tativille', just outside Paris.

French comedy from film-maker Jacques Tati, who also stars. Accident-prone bachelor Monsieur Hulot (Tati) goes on hoilday to a seaside resort. While there, he unwittingly creates chaos. Featuring very little dialogue, this was Tati's first 'Monsieur Hulot' film; followed by 'Mon Oncle (1956), 'Playtime' (1968) and 'Traffic' (1972). The cast also includes Nathalie Pascaud and Michelle Rolla.

French film-maker and actor Jacques Tati reprises his character Monsieur Hulot from his 1953 film 'Mr. Hulot's Holiday'. Hulot lives in a small backstreet dwelling which contrasts sharply with his sister and brother-in-law Madame and Monsieur Arpel (Adrienne Servantie and Jean-Pierre Zola)'s excessively modern, suburban lifestyle. When Monsieur Arpel becomes concerned about the influence Hulot is having on his young son Gérard (Alain Bécourt), he gives his brother-in-law a job at his factory.
