MON ONCLE (1958)
In several of Jaques Tati’s films, modern architecture is beautifully showcased, but simultaneously cast as the butt of the joke. Tati’s on-screen alter ego, M Hulot, is routinely fascinated and bewildered by various novelties or absurdities of modern design.
Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favourable to the reception of erotic emotion. Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.
