Review of Mon Oncle (1958) by Jeremy C — 04 Jul 2007
Tati was the French Peter Sellers. With Mon Oncle, Tati opposes a view of France embracing ultra-capitalism, modernisation, fordism production techniques, and in a way becoming dishumanised, against more traditional society where people go to the market, buy baguettes, argue in the bistro, where the postman on his bike flirts with girls, and where work doesn't seem to exist...
While very simplistic, this is a briliant and extremely clever observation of the French people, self-deprecating and with some splapstick moments that would rival with the best of Laurel & Hardy. Exquisite.
