In Jacques Tatii's Trafic, the bumbling Monsieur Hulot, outfitted as always with tan raincoat, beaten brown hat, and umbrella, takes to Paris' highways and byways. For this, his final outing, Hulot is employed as an auto company's director of design, and accompanies his new vehicle (a camper tricked out with absurd gadgetry) to an auto show in Amsterdam. Naturally, the road is paved with modern-age mishaps. This late-career delight is a masterful demonstration of the comic genius' expert timing and sidesplitting visual gags, and a bemused last look at technology run amok.

Traffic was broadcast on SBS ONE at Thursday 23 June 2022, 14:00. This episode was initially placed on Friday 2 August 2019.
