The Man in the Hat
22 February 2021
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.
