Geronimo1967
In some ways this suggested to me a film that could have one side of the screen in monochrome and the other in colour. The former side would be that of Hulot (Jacques Tati) who has come to a Paris he knows but no longer really recognises. The latter one would follow the lives of some American tourists doing Europe and though lost when it comes to the language, are entirely familiar with all the new technology and modernisation in this ancient city. One exception in that group is the more adventurous Barbara (Barbara Dennek) who frequently finds herself, randomly, encountering an Hulot who cant seem to meet anyone he sets out to meet in the way he expects to. As ever with Tati films, it takes a swipe at virtually all aspects of modern living...
