Rowan Atkinson's performance in Man vs. Bee, as a somewhat eccentric character struggling with an automated kitchen cupboard in an ultra-modern house, irresistibly reminds me of Jacques Tati in the aforementioned scene.

M. Hulot trying to figure out the Arpel family’s modernist kitchen.
Tati makes fun of modernist homes and their obsession with function, as it increasingly seems to make Mme. Hulot’s life more difficult.

Jacques Tati on the set of Playtime
Paris: Jolly Film, 1967.

Vintage black and white single weight borderless press photograph of director Jacques Tati on the office complex set of his epic 1967 film.

Here Tati appears in full regalia as Monsieur Hulot, standing amidst the construction of the vast office complex set that occupies the first half of the film.

Mon Oncle, 1958

Elisabeth Amsterdamer, aka Betty Schneider or Betty Schneider-Raffaelli, French actress, was born in 1934 (Lens).

She also acted in Paris nous appartient, a film I highly recommend (Jacques Rivette, 1961 - Cahiers director of the Nouvelle Vague).
Betty Schneider as Betty, Landlord's Daughter/la fille de la concierge (charming both young and older).

The tourist in Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot did not see that coming. (the ball ànd the girl)
There is suggestive eroticism to be linked to the Hulot universe, or as Freud might call it: Sublimierung.
