The #sound is so important in all of Tati’s #movies.
But… even the absence of sound has a (gag)meaning. In Mon Oncle there’s this scene with Gérard Arpel who ‘studies’ in silence in order to let his parents believe he’s actually studying instead of playing around with his 'toys’.

The still belongs to #MonOncle and the book I photographed belonged to #MyUncle’s props ('natural history'). There are plenty of differences between Mon Oncle and My Uncle.
