Slapstick prevails again when Jacques Tati's eccentric, old-fashioned hero, is set loose in the geometric, ultramodern home of his brother-in-law, and in the antiseptic hose factory where he gets a job. The second Hulot movie and Tati's first color film, Mon oncle is a supremely amusing satire of mechanized living and consumer society that earned the Academy Award for best foreign-language film.
