Mon Oncle

(1958) dir Jacques Tati w/Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola, Adrienne Servantie, Alain Bécourt [116 min; DCP]

Cleary a direct descendent from Buster Keaton’s on-screen persona, Jacques Tati’s immortal character Monsieur Hulot is as unflappable as they come, meeting one ridiculous situation after another with a sublime kind of calm bewilderment and an occasional balletic flourish. As a director, Tati‘s complex comedic set pieces rival Keaton in their commitment to the gag.

A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 9:30 PM screening of THE FAIRY. No additional purchase is necessary.
