Jacques Tati's lovable alter ego, the highly distracted M. Hulot, returns in a hilarious portrait of man against modernization. A chain of brilliantly inventive sight and sound gags, "Mon Oncle" follows the gangly-legged Hulot from the quaint squalor of his boarding house to the aniseptic home of his gadget-obsesses sister. Like Hulot's young nephew, who longs to escape his mother's cement garden, you'll delight in Hulot's escapades: as the unwitting target of outrageous schoolboy pranks; bicycling with a herd of stray dogs at his wheel; and wrestling valiantly with an automated--almost dictatorial--modern kitchen. Notes: Jacques Tati's first "M. Hulot" film in color. Director: Jacques Tati. Color. Country: France. Subtitled.
