Mon Oncle d’Amérique Series: Tough and Tender: The Films of Gérard Depardieu [Aug. 3 - 19, 2007] Director: Alain Resnais, Country: France, Release: 1980, Runtime: 125 One of Resnais’ most playful films (and one of his biggest hits), Mon Oncle d’Amérique offers the director’s version of what it is to be human. Behaviorist Henri Laborit appears as himself and his comments on motivation, anxiety and role models are interspersed with key moments in the lives of a technical manager in the middle of a downsizing panic (Depardieu, in one of his greatest and most delicate performances), an actress in the midst of a life crisis (Nicole Garcia), and a writer/politician (Roger Pierre). Somehow, at the heart of life is the elusive dream of being elsewhere, delivered from the pressures of existence by a sudden inheritance from the mythical American uncle of the title. Resnais and screenwriter Jean Gruault “manage to convey a dense, multilayered narrative with remarkable ease and simplicity,” wrote Jonathan Rosenbaum of this brilliant film, one of the best of the ‘80s. “The film is also memorable for its dead-on portrayal of French yuppiedom in its early ascendancy.”
