The Man in the Hat

Hinds plays an ordinary Joe driving through France haunted in some way - a photo of a woman is always with him - and pursued by a group of guys who he saw commit a crime.

Wonderful piece of whimsy, essentially silent and heavily influenced by Jacques Tati, it is beautiful to watch, often funny, often sad and supported throughout by a sensational soundtrack. Not to all tastes, it is slow, a bit weird and the plot is negligible, but for something to relax to to which you will continue to think about after it's ended, it's hard to beat.

Made in a magnificent manner, this time its about a man with a hat travelling his fiat 500 through the rural districts of southeastern france in the summer. its a great climax of scenic views, a multitude of cinematographic teqniques, lots of vividly spirited music and a great show about the pecularities and serendipitous ways of life.

this film reminds me of my norwegian grandfather who travelled the italian countryside in the 60's and 70's in his little simca, with an italian vocabulary of max 5 words, at the initial phase of dementia, near deaf on both ears shuffling coal in the belly of a steamtramper all his life, and glasses thicker than an underarm, making his max speedlimit to 30 km/h, always with a smile, greating you lifting his hat as he passes by...as a bowled snail... that was some kind of grandfather i can tell... lost his drivers liscence at age 83, reason? driving too slow, but the simca stood in his yard till death ten years later.

so if youd like to fall back to holiday memories in the great canyons of europe, do join this road trip, its lovely, witty and consequent, and most of all a funny story without a word...its kind of maestrodamus thinks the grumpy old man, with a recommend

Like a breath of fresh air, especially during lockdown

A very nice, entertaining movie. If you're looking for huge action and car chases keep looking. If you want a interesting saga with little dialog this is it. Comedy, drama, love and intrigue, The Man in the Hat has it all. An enjoyable journey with a kind hearted man.

I was hooked on this after 10 minutes of watching it while wondering what is it? Actually after that time I didn't care, I just wanted more of it! John-Paul Davidson and Stephen Warbeck were holding me tight in their artistic hands and didn't let me go... not that I wanted!

Made in a magnificent manner - full of nostalgia and love for life, this film about a man with a hat traveling through the rural districts of southeastern France in the summer, will satisfy all your senses. Reaching a great climax of scenic views incorporating peculiarities and serendipitous ways of life, the directing duo reminded me of Jacques Tati!
