Manifesto of a post-modern Chaplin
Jacques Tati needs a statue in the movie history hall of fame. He will have it, eventually. As an actor, he created Monsieur Hulot, a sort of post-modern Chaplin, walking through the world as estranged and yet delighted, as a middle-aged ET. As a director, he did about the same thing, but added a visual brilliance, a classical sense for the absurd, and a lot of poetry.

Mon oncle, My uncle, is pretty much the manifesto of his artistic raison d’etre. The uncle, Monsieur Hulot, with his timeless, almost zen-like attitude to life, is contrasted by the successful bourgeoisie family, trying so hard to shine. What happens in the movie, is simply the little everyday absurdities rising out of this meeting of contradictions.

Tati makes fun of everyone, but in such a gentle and loving way, no one gets hurt. He is truly enjoying himself, when observing the little madnesses of modern man. There is no call for anyone getting really angry at anyone else.

Still, there are statements, and they are provoking if pondered. Tati probably succeeded in balancing the 1950’s unreserved delight in consumer gluttony, with a bit of a taoist reconsideration as to the significance of it all. Without Tati and his movies, it is quite likely that we would have taken much longer in glimpsing the futility of earthly possessions, and that which has for the last half-century been called progress.

And contrary to many other movies of up to the same age, Mon oncle carries the years with just as straight a posture as the one of Monsieur Hulot. They should show this movie in the schools, so that all kids get to see it and reflect.

Unrelenting
‘Mon Oncle’ is the standard Tati film. It has one obsessive theme (modernism is inhuman) and no story arc. Each gag lasts less than minute and then we’re on to the next 120 atomized gags. Consequently once it starts, a viewer has no prayer of knowing if there is ten minutes left or an hour. Every moment is pretty much the same; an infinite sequence of episodic gags in which no point receives emphasis, makes it nearly impossible to watch in a single sitting. He can take a gag and riff on it longer than one thought humanly possible, as eons transpire between some excruciating set up and it’s payoff. Tati wrings a scene for every conceivable gag until he’s filled his catalog with duds; then he can move on. It’s all sight-gags, shot in oversimplified tableaux, with the action front and center, and nothing else going on.

Tati hasn’t solved the basic problem he’s made for himself; why would anyone watch all the movie when it’s clear it’s not building and a viewer can tune out for 40, 80, 100 gags, but come back and have missed nothing crucial. Mon Oncle never gets moving. Tati’s desire to be the mid-century Chaplin is displayed in characteristic, long stretches of silence and perfunctory, tedious scripts. He simply cannot be swayed from the belief that only visuals and set-pieces are funny. Any dialogue becomes a utilitarian means to get from point A to point B. He refuses to let a single verbal exchange be memorable or get a laugh.

Mon Oncle is just brutal.
