About the Film
Plot: The film follows the character Monsieur Hulot as he visits his brother-in-law's family, the Arpels, who live in a sterile, ultra-modern house filled with high-tech gadgets. The film contrasts Hulot's charming, old-fashioned world with the Arpels' cold, materialistic lifestyle.
Awards: Mon Oncle won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1959. It also received the Special Jury Prize at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival.
Legacy: The film is a satire of mechanized living and consumer society in post-war France. It is Tati's first color film and is considered one of his most accessible works. |
