What is Mr. Hulot's Holiday/Mon Oncle about?

Double Feature: Restored Print! MR. HULOT’S HOLIDAY (LES VACANCES DE MONSIEUR HULOT), 1953, Janus Films, 85 min. Director Jacques Tati’s first film starring Monsieur Hulot finds the irascible Frenchman on vacation in a petite resort town. Hulot attempts to keep his slapstick clumsiness at bay and to blend in with the hilariously habituated bourgeoisie, but with little success. In French with English subtitles. Restored Print! MON ONCLE, 1958, Janus Films, 117 min. Dir. Jacques Tati. M. Hulot is let loose to discover - in his bumbling yet affable manner - the awkward, comic, and hopelessly new-fangled advances of domestic modernism. As usual, our inept hero is uncomfortable with the more socialized adult species, and finds a playful soulmate in his young nephew. This is the English-language version that Tati shot simultaneously.
