Mon Oncle (1958)
The Gist:
Mon Oncle is my first Tati film, and it was interesting enough to warrant me to write my paper on a comparison between Tati and Renoir (which seems a little counter-intuitive but I have a good in for it). Tati's films are minimalistic, the sets insanely complicated which provoke silent-era esque gags that serve the greater function for social commentary (specifically how the modernist technology is essentially killing our individuality, and how it's a plague on society, etc). In any case, Mon Oncle is a bitter sweet film that challenges the viewer and allows them to actively engage with the image.
