Mon Oncle
December 18, 2017, 7:00 PM
Free
Visual wit, Gallic charm and smart slapstick prevail again when Jacques Tati’s eccentric, old-fashioned hero, Monsieur Hulot, is set loose in Villa Arpel, the geometric, oppressively ultramodern home of his brother-in-law, and in the antiseptic plastic 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, in some ways seeming a contemporary update of Chaplin’s Modern Times. It earned the director an Academy Award for best foreign-language film. (Unrated, 1958, 116 min.)
Cost: $10
Location: Waterville Opera House, 1 Common Street, Waterville, 873-7000, www.operahouse.org.
