• My Uncle

One of the most famous comedy characters ever created - Monsieur Hulot! Here in Jacques Tati's satirical look at the mechanised 20th Century, Monsieur Hulot, that most irrepressible of optimists, guides his 7 year old nephew, Gerard, from the clinical gadgetry of his "modernised" home, to the fun and excitement of the real world - with suitably alarming and hilarious results. FILM QUARTERLY called MON ONCLE Tati's MODERN TIMES and the world's press echoed this saying even Chaplin never made a funnier or more brilliant film. "MON ONCLE is the finest knockabout fun" News of the World. "A must for all cinema lovers" Daily Mail. "A beautifully warm and glorious funny piece" Sunday Express. "A source of pleasure for all tastes and ages" The Observer. NEW YORK CRITICS Award "Best Foreign Film". SPECIAL JURY PRIZE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL
