Mon oncle (Jacques Tati, 1958)


Mon oncle (Jacques Tati, 1958)
Rating: 9.2

Tati's second adventure of M. Hulot is a lot more satirical and a little less charming as he tackles modernity, superficiality, and consumerism as a status symbol. Mon Oncle is another comedic masterpiece, however I didn't quite like it as much as Playime or M. Hulot's Holiday due to the repetition and predictability of a lot of the gags. The opening credits might be the best I've seen though and once again sound design plays an enormous role.
