Mon Oncle

French master Jacques Tati's Mr. Hulot returned for the second time and in color to glorious effect for another classic. This time Mr. Hulot visits his sister, her husband and child to wreak havoc on their pride which is their ultra modern house. Tati took on modernity and progress that was sweeping the Western world at the time to point out the weakness of its design that while visually great, its coldness was more appropriate for robots than humans. Tati's never misses his mark with his heart always on the right spot in his films. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
