Tatis herrliche Zeiten

Jacques Tati and the pitfalls of technology: Together with Monsieur Hulot, a group of American tourists invades modern Paris, which has completely lost its original face. Whether airport buildings, apartments or restaurants - the futuristic metropolis seems to consist only of concrete, plastic, steel and glass. Monsieur Hulot wanders through a Paris that is completely foreign to him. He feels for the glass door on a glass wall, wonders about the strange noises of the plastic armchairs and searches for his way through the labyrinth of an open-plan office. Everything is flawlessly clean. The delusion of progress reigns everywhere. From the confusion of the language jungle at the airport, to the ice-cold atmosphere in a gigantic office building, to his chaotic experiences in a luxury restaurant - Monsieur Hulot suffers all the madness of truly glorious times.
