Mon Oncle
Slapstick prevails when Jacques Tati's eccentric hero Monsieur Hulot
is let loose in the ultramodern home of his brother-in-law, and in an
antiseptic factory that manufactures plastic hose. Tati directs and
stars in the second entry of the Hulot series, a delightful satire of
mechanized living.
