He started as a mime.
Not surprisingly, his films have very little dialog.
He sunk much of his fortune into the elaborate sets for 'Playtime' and went bankrupt when the film failed at the box office.
Rowan Atkinson cited Mr. Hulot as an inspiration for the creation of Mr. Bean.

Why he might not be annoying:

He was a master of physical comedy and visual gags.
Behind the comedy, his films offered a critique of modern life and materialism.
