Mein Onkel aus Amerika (1980)

Mein Onkel aus Amerika: Directed by Alain Resnais. With Gérard Depardieu, Nicole Garcia, Roger Pierre, Nelly Borgeaud. The intersecting stories of three people who face difficult choices in life-changing situations are used to illustrate the theories espoused by Henri Laborit about human behavior and the relationship between the self and society.

“Professor Henri Laborit is one of the geniuses of the previous century. And Alain Resnais directed a movie faithful to the scientistu0026#39;s work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe could say about Mon oncle du0026#39;Amérique that itu0026#39;s a totally original film. Itu0026#39;s impossible to compare it to any of the other movies in the history.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enThis piece of art shows in a very elegant and clever way how we human beings behave. Itu0026#39;s as brilliant as deeply moving.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDefinitely a must-see that reminds us why we used to admire Gérard Depardieu. The use of the archive footage of Danielle Darrieux, Jean Gabin, and Jean Marais are very touching in the middle of a movie that seems to be cold and demonstrative but that is not.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch this masterpiece ASAP. Youu0026#39;ll never regret it.”
