(Part 2/2): "The restoration project undertaken in 2009 is based on the last version that shocked Tati edited in 1978. You are about to discover the last version, the one the director intended. Thanks to the photochemical process and digital tools, the original image quality of the picture and the richness of the sound have been successfully recreated. Mr. Hulot can now get back on the road and resume his comedy act."
The film ends with a shot of the now-deserted beach, over which is superimposed a graphic of a bright red postmarked stamp.
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."
