Mr. Hulot's Holocaust

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 1998)

The praise for this forced, strident comedy is puzzling. This film, which is one long wince, looks like "Seven Beauties" as seen through the eyes of Jacques Tati. A serious subject does not a good movie make. Like "Il Postino", "Life is Beautiful" is another mediocre Italian-movie-for-export. We miss you Federico!
