Mon oncle (4K Restoration)
The arrival of Monsieur Hulot, Madame Arpel’s brother, disrupts this carefully ordered world. His carefree and playful way of life constantly clashes with the logic of efficiency and design, resulting in a series of comic situations. At the same time, he becomes an unexpected source of imagination and freedom for young Gérard. In an attempt to limit his influence, Hulot is even put to work in his brother-in-law’s plastic factory, where he once again brings chaos to a system striving to function perfectly.
The film has been restored in 4K, allowing the visual precision of Tati’s mise-en-scène, the architecture of the modern world, and the physical comedy to shine with renewed clarity.
Mon Oncle marks a transition towards Tati’s more analytical and visually composed cinema, in which humour arises from space, rhythm, and the clash between humanity and the modern environment.
