Anecdotes
Jacques Tati recounted later in life that he had been heavily criticized for perceived weak dialogue when this film came out. Tati claimed that his intention was to make the dialogue as realistic as possible (thus, simple or boring) to capture the banality of real vacationers.

Gaffes
When Hulot first enters the hotel and closes the door behind himself, his cap is on his head when he bends to pick up his suitcase; when he straightens, the cap is in his hand with the suitcase.

Citations
Opening Titles: Mr. Hulot is off for a week by the sea. Take a seat behind his camera, and you can spend it with him. Don't look for a plot, for a holiday is meant purely for fun, and if you look for it, you will find more fun in ordinary life than in fiction.

Crédits fous
Prologue to restored film (part1/2): "Mr. Hulot's Holiday, Jacques Tati's second feature film, was released in Paris on February 27th, 1953. On that day, Mr. Hulot was born. First in 1962, and later on in 1978, Tati worked on his film again. He re-edited it, cut some shots out, lengthened a few others, re-orchestrated the score and remixed the sound. Thus, over a period of 25 years, he continued to create the world of his main character. The film was released around the world. The original elements were damaged and weakened by the repeated re-editing process, as well as by numerous changes performed by the director."

Brings its own popcorn.

If you do not have the time or money to travel back to 1953 to spend a French holiday, you might as well just watch M. Hulot's Holiday. Honestly holidays are stressful and barely ever as good as you want them to be anyway, while this movie was much more than I expected it to be.

The humor in the film is warm, never condescending or patronizing to the characters. There is always the sense of fun. The movie really sells itself to me by not making Mr. Hulot a buffoon alone in the crowd. Circumstance and happening reveals everyone to be capable of situational humor, the accidents of the movie are shared with a laugh.

It is an observational movie, and the majority of the humor is not forced, neither upon us nor upon the movie itself. It merely shows how people can get involved in each others' lives, how funny the average day can be. It is like attending a family reunion, really. The camera does not stick itself to Mr. Hulot, but goes anywhere for a laugh. If a small boy is doing something funny, the camera will be there to capture it all, and then leave the boy. This would make another film feel large, but because there is no story to the film, because there is no main character to feel especially attached to, it always feels personal, it always feel like you are seeing something nobody else is.

Perhaps the best part is that the film sticks with you for days afterward, and soon Mr. Hulot's Holiday shows its real genius, as you start noticing similar things happening around you.
