Synopsis

Set loose in a society of gaudy materialism, the amiably oblivious Monsieur Hulot finds himself hilariously out of sorts when visiting his sister, brother-in-law, and nephew at their bourgeois house—the geometric Villa Arpel, filled with oppressively bewildering and ultramodern “conveniences.”

MUBI's take

For his first film in color, and his second as the legendary Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati won an Academy Award® for the spectacular visual comedy Mon Oncle—an enormously entertaining film that nonetheless manages to pack quite the punch, poking fun at the new social and economic order of modern life.
