My American Uncle (1980)

Professor Henri Laborit uses three people's stories to discuss behaviourist theories of survival, combat, rewards and punishment, and anxiety: René is a technical manager at a textile factory and must face the anxiety caused by corporate downsizing; Janine is a self-educated actress/stylist who learns that the wife of her lover is dying and must decide to let them reunite; and Jean is a controversial career-climbing writer/politician at a crossroads in life.

An amaizing study about human behaibour. Probably inspired by the ethologist (such as Desmond Morris) the films compare how the characters react and feel, and how does that affect their health; side by side with mouse labs in laberynths and experiments, on situations that are equivalent to the persons in the story.A very dark and unknown film, but one of the most intresting, alternative and hard to get films Depardieu has ever done

im grunde ein behavioristischer thesenfilm - oder doch nicht...? resnais ist im grunde zu schlau, um das hier zur bloÃ?en versuchsanordnung zu machen, und so bleibt dann auch bei aller vorgeblichen akademischen nÃ¼chternheit der eindruck zurÃ¼ck, der eigentliche film habe sich zwischen den zeilen abgespielt.

Not the most watchable film, but utterly brilliant -- and depressing! -- philosophically.

Expert on human behaviour Henri Laborit tests out his theories on the way human beings work, using the 3 main characters in this film; Rene; Janine and Jean. We watch their lives unfold, are given background information on their childhood while Laborit explains his theories which the viewer uses to deconstruct each character's actions during certain episodes of their lives. More of a psychology experiment than a linear film, "My American Uncle" is endlessly fascinating. By adding a human behaviour expert to comment on the film, "My American Uncle" becomes more of a comedy than a drama, as the 3 main characters are likened to lab rats being studied by Laborit and by us. Quirky and brilliant, another Resnais masterpiece.

passant de l'un Ã l'autre de ses personnages avec une fluiditÃ© etonnante, le travail de Resnais propose un contrepoint brillant sur les thÃ¨ses comportementalistes de Henri laborit.Seulement, aprÃ©s 90 mn passionnante, l'histoire s enlise. S enchainent alors laborieusement une succession de scÃ¨nes sans grand interet qui Ã mon sens dilue le propos.
