The best Mon Oncle gags, ranked: 5) The hot dog hose 4) The leak in the fish fountain sequence 3) The modern house’s “eyes” 2) The automatic garage door and the dog 1) The glass and the bouncy pitcher
Matt SingerSimilar to the first time I saw Kurosawa in color, seeing Tati use it for the first time was unbelievable. It's not just transferring from b&w to color, it's adding color to his toolset to build the beautiful world he created. So weird in such a lovely way. Some of his…
KarstenJun 1, 202190 It's fitting that only the kids and the dogs freely move between the two distinct environments of Mon Oncle. One is an abandoned traditionalism, the harmony of simple life. Opening and adjusting the window won't result in an electronic buzz or a sharp creak, but a…

Loved it. Glad I gave this a shot after being thoroughly confused by PlayTime (and honestly this made me wanna give PlayTime another shot! In like twenty years. Too many movies!) A really gorgeous and stunningly-designed satire of the upper-middle class and their desperate…

Metacritic
Jacques Tati is the great philosophical tinkerer of comedy, taking meticulous care to arrange his films so that they unfold in a series of revelations and effortless delights.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Featuring a cavalcade of colourful characters, lively merriment and a wit and charm like no other, Jour de Fête marks a spectacularly well fashioned introduction to Tati’s old-fashioned and playful sense of humour.

Mon Oncle zeroes on in the way we often use our homes as status symbols first, and places of care and comfort second.
