Mon Oncle

N.p. N.p., 1958. Vintage borderless black and white photograph of director Jacques Tati at the premiere of his 1958 film, preparing to pour a celebratory toast of champagne into an empty paper sleeve for the vinyl single from the film's soundtrack, held by actress Mylene Demongeot.

Tati's second of four films featuring the inimitable Monsieur Hulot. In this chapter, Hulot strays from his rather ordinary Paris neighborhood and into a modern, suburban one, where technological chaos reigns. Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and winner of the Jury Special Prize, and winner of an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.
