		Mon Oncle brings him home, among the friends who know and love him, and the family who despair of him.
		Mon Oncle is the only one of the Hulot films that in a way disparages some of the characters.

		With his 1958 "Mon Oncle," Tati birthed his greatest creation: a hilarious and playful slapstick satire that has yet to be matched.
		"Mon Oncle" follows the adventures (or misadventures) of Tati's alter ego Monsieur Hulot, an umbrella-toting, pipe smoking clown in love with the simple and beautiful life of the old world.
		Tati remains playful in "Mon Oncle," and is still able to effectively serve up his satire of modern life.

		Consider a shot early in "Mon Oncle," where the camera regards the outside of the building where Tati's character, Hulot, lives in a room on the roof.
		He hardly ever says anything, and indeed "Mon Oncle" is halfway a silent film, with the dialogue sounding like an unexpected interruption in a library.
		"Mon Oncle" introduces us casually to a large cast of local characters, including a street-sweeper who is perpetually in conversation and always means to use his broom but never does, and a produce vendor whose scale is off because a flat tire causes his truck to tilt.

	Mon Oncle on DVD
		Though Mon Oncle is set in the present, the apparent temporal discrepancy between the Hulot and the Arpel lifestyle gives the film a pseudo science-fiction feel, and the film could be seen within the tradition of satirical dystopias (A nous la liberté, Modern Times).
		Mon Oncle took nine months to shoot and one year to edit and post-dub.
		Mon Oncle was the most popular French film of the year and won a Special Jury Prize at Cannes and Best Foreign film at the next year's Academy Awards.

	Mon Oncle (1958) : Directed by Jacques Tati, reviewed by Nick Burton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The one comic who did make great silent-styed comedy though, was Jacques Tati, a fierce original who made brilliantly funny films in the style of silents, but with a contemporary sensibility that showed a perceptive and healthy disdain for progress that rings much truer than anything by Chaplin.
		Tati's masterpiece is his 1958 Mon Oncle, his first color film, and his second as Mr.
		His sister and brother-in-law, the Arpels, live in a hilariously modern house, an architectural nightmare somewhere between Corbusier and Bauhaus and the very model of what was thought of as space-age modernism in living.

		Mon Oncle d’Amerique (sometimes called Les Somnambules) is no exception in that respect, but the potential rewards from engaging with this film are immeasurable.
		Resnais was courageous in stretching the boundaries of cinema and Mon Oncle d’Amerique nicely balances between experimental inventiveness and the more conventional cinematic rewards for the audience such as an engaging narrative and well-developed characters.
		Mon oncle d’Amerique could be understood as Uncle Sam, these days, and Uncle Sam is behaving no better than any marginally competent rat.

		In a similar vein to René Clair’s À nous la liberté and Chaplin’s Modern Times, Mon Oncle is primarily a satire on the dehumanising effect of technology on society and family life.
		Mon Oncle features some of Tati’s best visual jokes — such as the house-proud wife constantly switching on and off her ornamental garden fountain whenever a guest arrives, and the high jinks at the plastics factory, where Hulot manages to get a machine to produce plastic pipes in the shape of strings of sausages.
		As we laugh at the exploits of Monsieur Hulot and his inability to adapt to a changing world, we see something of ourselves and perhaps nurture a secret yearning to return to a simpler, less technologically orientated way of life.

	The Criterion Collection: Mon Oncle
		There is mystery to Hulot, a sense that he lives mostly in his own world, occasionally adjusting the wider world to make it more livable—or at the very least, more reflective of his own eccentric desires.
		Mon Oncle, arguably Tati’s best and most pleasing movie, is an illustration of the actor-filmmaker’s myopia—a myopia which afflicts everyone in the modern era to some degree, and which Tati brilliantly explored in meticulous physical comedies.
		Tati’s Hulot, the Oncle of the title, is a simple man with simple needs who often finds himself bewildered by the mindless complexity of modern city life.

		Hulot's Holiday and Mon Oncle represent the greatest achievements of Tati's career, and Criterion's crisp DVD transfers make it easy to appreciate the films' pictorial subtlety and masterful sound design.
		Maybe the most important character in the movie is the ultra-modern house belonging to the Arpel family: Hulot's sister, a fussy housewife; her husband, an executive in a plastics corporation; and their frustrated young son.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Mon Oncle Antoine
		Mon Oncle Antoine (My Uncle Antoine) harks back to those days when a fairly minor film could seize the imagination of the movie going élites and have a rather long theatrical life, simply because everything else around it was so artificial and dumb.
		Jutra doesn't show this moment; he leaves it to the viewer's imagination, thus maintaining his stance of respectful distance from the people of this village, along with the unpredictability of the script's narrative scheme.
		Mon Oncle Antoine is a movie of gritty details and daily practicalities — Antoine is shown after a funeral service removing the rosary from the frozen fingers of a corpse as well as the shirt it has on, both to be recycled for another service later.

		Five years after his first appearance, Jacques Tati's M. Hulot returns with Mon Oncle, a film set along the dividing line between Paris' past and its future.
		Aligned (as is the film) with the former, Hulot lives in a colorful, overpopulated Parisian neighborhood and, lacking employment, spends his days waiting to pick up his adoring nephew from school, and subsequently escorting him to his parents' ultra-modern house.
		The quiet, slightly bizarre humor; the amazing color palette; the wonderful take off/take down of modern living and the haute bourgeoisie--most of this is quite wonderful and surprisingly original, too.

		In Mon Oncle Jaques Tati created a very funny film (in places), a very French film, but above all a film that to me is a statement about life itself.
		And when that payoff comes, in Mon Oncle it's amongst the best cinematic moments ever, such as Tati testing the coffee maker for bounciness in his brother's hi-tec 50's kitchen.

		Mon Oncle D'Amerique (the title refers to each of the three characters' legendary uncle in America who has achieved success) begins to work its magic most effectively in the last portion of the screenplay when the themes merge.
		Mon Oncle D'Amerique is a philosophical puzzle which raises more questions than it answers.
		Thanks to exquisitely textured performances by Nicole Garcia, Roger-Pierre, and Gerard Depardieu, the often-tedious lectures by Dr. Laborit are lifted out of abstraction and given carnal poignancy.

	TAKE ONE: Mon oncle Antoine
		Set in a rural Quebec mining town in the late 1940s, Mon oncle Antoine is at once a charming portrait of a mythical rural Quebec and a telling fable of Quebec at the dawn of the Quiet Revolution.
		The climactic scene, in which Benoit rides in a sleigh with his drunken uncle and the body of a dead youth, resonates with Canadian cultural mythology, the snowstorm an indication of the tempestuous winds of change about to come.
		Because the film's politics are more implicit than obvious, critical response to Mon oncle Antoine in Quebec was mixed, although it was successful both at home and abroad, and the winner of eight Canadian Film Awards.

	Movie Review: Mon Oncle / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
		Mon Oncle may well be first film to directly target rampant consumerism.
		Tati creates a fascinating set of two worlds: the old, confused, jumbled, noisy even dirty Paris in which M. Hulot lives, and the modern, squeaky clean, utterly sterile one in which his relatives reside.
		And when the film isn't overtly humorous, it's still delightful in its sheer inventiveness (watch the incredible business of Hulot going through his apartment building).
