Screening Log, December 2006

Mon oncle d’Amerique
France / 1980

I’m not sure how seriously we’re meant to take the proceedings here (three lives that appear to be illustrations of biologist Henri Laborit’s theories) particularly when scenes are replayed with characters now bearing giant rat heads; but the real delight of the film is its mosaic patterning, how the four narrative strands (Laborit’s is the fourth one) intertwine and play off one another in the most pleasurable way.
