Jacques Tati biography

Profile

Jacques Tati was a French comedic actor and film director who starred in all six of his feature films. He is well-remembered for his signature character, Monsieur Hulot, a gentle, pipe-smoking man who appeared in four of his films, including Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot. His humor hangs on vignettes that play on timing and mannerisms which illuminate the humor of a mechanized modern world.
