Copenhagen Architecture Biennial has invited Jan Gehl, world renowned urban planner and founder of Gehl Architects, to select a favourite film for this edition of the biennial. Gehl will introduce the film.

Watch this classic comedy by Jacques Tati on a rooftop cinema in the center of Copenhagen and introduced by “the human scale”-godfather, Jan Gehl.

Mon Oncle centers on the socially awkward yet lovable character of Monsieur Hulot and his quixotic struggle with postwar France's infatuation with modern architecture, mechanical efficiency and consumerism. The film presents a timeless critique of modernism and its impact on human life. It remains a reminder of the importance of balance, human connection, and the enduring appeal of simpler ways of life in the face of technological and societal change.

A film by Jacques Tati,

year: 1958, length: 117 min., language: french, subs: English

Copenhagen Architecture Biennial har inviteret Jan Gehl – verdenskendt byplanlægger og grundlægger af Gehl Architects – til at udvælge en favoritfilm til denne udgave af biennalen. Gehl vil introducere filmen.

Se denne klassiske komedie af Jacques Tati i en tagbiograf midt i København, introduceret af faderen til begrebet “the human scale”, Jan Gehl.

Mon Oncle kredser om den socialt akavede, men elskværdige Monsieur Hulot og hans skæve kamp mod efterkrigstidens franske fascination af moderne arkitektur, mekanisk effektivitet og forbrugskultur. Filmen er en tidløs kritik af modernismen og dens påvirkning af menneskelivet. Den minder os stadig om vigtigheden af balance, menneskelige relationer og den vedvarende tiltrækning ved et enklere liv i mødet med teknologiske og samfundsmæssige forandringer.

En film af Jacques Tati. År: 1958, varighed: 117 min., sprog: fransk, undertekster: engelsk.
