About this product

Product Information

Jacque Tati's second feature film and first film in color reintroduces his hilarious Chaplinesque alter ego, M. Hulot. After having followed Hulot on his sun-drenched, foible-filled seaside vacation in MR. HULOT'S HOLIDAY, MON ONCLE finds Tati contrasting Hulot's bohemian provincial home life with the modern, contraption-filled concrete and glass home belonging to his sister and her family, the Arpels, where Hulot's nephew, Gerard, is drowning in boredom. When Hulot comes for a visit, the gadgets get the better of him, in a seamless spectacle of electric switches, slamming doors and malfunctioning accoutrements. Tati shuttles back and forth between Hulot's quaint home of friendly, if mischievous neighbors and music filled provincial café's and the Arpel's surreal and cold ultra modern lifestyle, creating an evocative and whimsical contrast that Tati would develop further in his future masterpieces, PLAYTIME and TRAFFIC. When Mr. Arpel contrives to secure Hulot a position at his rubber tubing factory, Mrs. Arpel simultaneously conspires to fix him up with an eccentric neighbor, Hulot's clumsy and gullible nature lead him into myriad tangles with the Arpels modern lifestyle, climaxing in an intricately absurd garden party.

    Mon Oncle- Tati

    Typical Tati film: lots of contrast between the old and the new. Tati's tongue-in-cheek comments on the new modern vs the old, reliable, past. He apparently is not enthused with the "modern" world, and plays the happy-go-lucky leading man as he had in previous films: seemingly oblivious to what is happening around him.

    Disappointed

    From reviews of this producer, I expected the film to be very funny. However, to both me and my partner it was somewhat confusing and not particularly sidesplitting. I had wanted to see"Mr. Hulot's Holiday" first, but since "Mon Oncle" arrived before the other, we watched it. Hope Mr. Hulot is more true to its reputation!

    Tati's 'Everyman' Meets Modern World

    This is my personal favorite of all Tati's Monsieur Hulot films. As is typical of Tati, there is very little dialog, most of it delivered sotto voce. Sound, however, plays a key role, punctuating humorous situations. Poor M. Hulot is invited to his sister's ultra-modern home. Once there, every appliance and "modern convenience" seems designed to confuse and render him a complete clutz. Mixers go wild, steaks fly out of broilers and the guests are forced to sit in ludicrously uncomfortable chairs. Striving to navigate this hell of modernity, Tati's Everyman character is gently bemused and uncomprehending of what the fuss is all about. His tender and caring relationship with his young nephew amidst the chaos serves to remind viewers of what truly matters. An absurdly dressed neighbor in ...

    Viewing Mon Oncle the second time around

    I had seen this movie decades ago and had this image in my mind of how wonderful it was. That is why I bought it now. When I saw it again I was disappointed. There were several places where the scenes were too drawn out such as the group tea in the "garden" and the hose making catastrophy. The beginning and end with the dogs and the music were still wonderful as were the kids tricks played on unsuspecting adults. That is why I rated it "Good" and now excellent.

    Beautifully nuanced and subtle film comedy

    I have watched MON ONCLE four times in the past month. The first time, I liked it, but not as much as the other Tati films I'd seen, but there was something about it that made me want to give it a second viewing, which I did. With each repeated viewing, the movie not only gets funnier and funnier, but so many subtle bits have come forth. I should also note that in Tati's films, the dialogue is sometimes pushed the background and used almost as a sound effect, but that's not the case in MON ONCLE. I say that because while the basic film was the same one for all four viewings, I watched it via three different sources, and in the last one, the most recent Criterion release, the English subtitles were MUCH improved and expanded, picking up dialogue that I'd missed the first three times. I ...
