Details About the Film

This film is part of the series Screentime: Discover Film, Together

Socially awkward yet lovable Monsieur Hulot visits his sister and her family, but finds himself struggling with the hyper-modern architecture in her suburban home. This French comedy directed by and starring Jacques Tati is fun for all ages due to its minimal dialogue, stunning production design, and visual comedy.  Mon Oncle revived the stylistic conventions of silent film comedies for a new post-war generation and earned Best Foreign Language Film at the 1959 Academy Awards.
