Screening of Mon Oncle d'Amérique: My American UncleIn partnership with the Alliance Française, Manchester
Mon oncle d'Amérique (My American Uncle)
1980
Cert U
2hrs 6 mins
Dir: Alain Resnais
Starring: Gérard Depardieu, Nicole Garcia
“My American Uncle “ is unique in cinema—one of the oddest movies ever to emerge from the hand of director Alain Resnais, and also perhaps his most popular, steeped in elements of popular culture, social critique, and behavioural psychology, yet accessible enough to have achieved mass popularity, not only in France (where it won six Cesar Awards—their equivalent of the Oscar) but also in America. A trio of people (Gérard Depardieu, Nicole Garcia, Roger Pierre) are presented as “case histories” by a lecturer—and we see them not only in their work environments, but also in terms of the cinematic role models (Jean Gabin, Jean Marais, Danielle Darrieux) that have helped shape their self-images.
Film starts at 7pm. No adverts and no trailers.
