(OK) Tati has his own world of ancient tics, and nostalgia of recilcers and postmen and children and dogs in the streets versus a parodia of automatization in every detai, even in the short paces of a secretary in high heels...

When Hulot comes for a visit, the gadgets get the better of him, in a seamless spectacle of electric switches, slamming doors and malfunctioning accoutre ... (more)

"14.8. 2022 With "Mon oncle" Jacques Tati avoids all the typical cliches related to comedy genre and recreates atmosphere of the silent cinema. There's hardly any dialogue in the film and the whole film is compiled of series of charming and curious moments. Tati was a pretty humble guy because his character often just leaves the screen and lets the side characters to entertain viewers. Hulot usually tries to follow the rules but adapting into any modern system is usually almost impossible task f"

"First viewing - Mar. 13th So apparently Mon Oncle is some great classic, which is why I was curious to see what it was about. And there are some truly fun and funny moments stretched out across its run-time that I enjoyed. But overall it's not my taste. The characters lack interiority and Tati seems content to just shoot these long stretches where nothing of consequence happens. I struggled to maintain my focus on it, and at times I considered turning it off for something else. But by the time "

"22.12. Minunkin enoni on toista maata. Pidän enostani. Minusta ei koskaan tule enoa. Tyttärelläni on kaksi enoa. Se on oikein mukavaa. Mukavaa on myös Tatin tyyli vitsailla moderneilla vempaimilla ja yhteiskunnan kehityksellä. Musiikit olivat oikein kliffaa kuunneltavaa ja rytmitykseltään tämä oli (ainakin tähän mennessä ohjaajansa paras suoritus. Ääntä ja kuvaa yhdisteltiin taidokkaasti, joka sai aikaan monia hauskoja hetkiä Herra Hulotin tekemänä."
