Jacques Tati - Soundtrack Music from 'Mon Oncle'
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ย. 2012
- Jacques Tati (1907-1982) was a French filmmaker. During his career, he worked as a comic actor, writer, as well as director. He only made six feature-length films. This album features theme music from four:
Jour de Fête (The Big Day) • Jacques Tati - Soundtr...
Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot (Mr. Hulot's Holiday)
• Jacques Tati - Soundtr...
Mon Oncle (My Uncle)
Play Time • Jacques Tati - Soundtr...
Link to 'Cours du Soir' (Night Class) soundtrack music, from a vinyl album: • Jacques Tati's 'Cours ...
'Mon Oncle' was the first of his films I saw--on the big screen, in the late 1950's. Unforgettable. Humorous and charming, it doesn't have a lot of dialog--doesn't need it.
The music too is utterly enchanting and enjoyable. In some ways, to me it is reminiscent of some of Michel Legrand's 'I Love Paris' album.
I own nothing here.
Information from album notes, and Wikipedia.
From 'Mon Oncle':
Mon Oncle-Adios, Mario (composed by F. Barcellini)
Le Vieux Quartier (The Old Quarter) (composed by A. Romans)
Medley of three themes from the film (Romans, Barcellini) - เพลง
In the 60s, my parents loved Mon Oncle, they brought us to see it the next week. Then my father loved the music so much, he found out how to send away for it. It took a long time to arrive but we got it and it was played often in the house. We owned a video of Mister Hulot's Holiday, and it was an annual Christmas eve event. We anticipated each coming gag performed so artfully by Tati and laughed even before the gag was finished. Tati was part of the thread of our family.
That’s a very sweet story
How really wonderful ....your family is truly blessed with joy
French spirit at is finest ❤️ avec tout mon amour 🎶
I could imagine that, after you die, you hear this music playing in background... and you find yourself on a bicycle, riding towards an old quater...
Une petite musique simple et touchante, comme le film en fait
Je suis devenu addict a cette musique
I saw this film whilst at school, our french teacher treated the whole class to see it. It has been my favourite film ever since, Tati was a comedy genius and the music is pure enchantment. Thank you for putting this on You Tube, You have made my year.
+les cox You're very welcome, Les, and thank you for your most gracious comment! Labor of love, this--I first experienced Tati as a college student, when Mon Oncle played.
Best Regards,
David
Tati is awesome. :)
I love this movie 😍😍
I saw Mon Oncle when it first was shown on television in the United States. I was quite young and forever captivated. It was almost 60 years before I saw it again and I giggled and got teary eyed and felt so good at the end of the film - now to find it on DVD.
Toute cette ambiance de la France de l'apres guerre ou tout paraissait plus simple ,une belle epoque ou il fait bon vivre.Merci pour ce partage.
You're very welcome! Simpler time indeed.
Thank you for visiting!
David
Vous êtes les bienvenus ! Temps plus simple en effet.
Merci d'avoir visité!

I Can hardly imagine anything more french than This in the sixties, my parents were both francophile at the time and all there lifes, and we also had the record!
Pure bliss
I so love the work of Tati. Such gentle observation and physical comedy. The humor is completely free of cynicism as is Mr. Hulot. And the music is whimsically fitting - not too intrusive, but rather gently playing in the background.
You've summed it up, Don! Thanks for visiting, and offering your observations--good stuff!
Best Regards,
David
Growing up, I owned this film on vhs (I am 16 right now). Watching it many times, it became my all time favorite movie. Listening to this music gives me the most heart warming feeling ever and makes me relive my childhood! I thank Jacques Tati for his brilliant work and giving me something quite special to look back on!
Thank you for visiting and commenting, KoolAid! I first saw this in a theater in the late 1950s, on a (double) date. Afterwards, over ice cream, we couldn't stop talking about all the specific hilarities and touches in the film, for at least an hour. Made an impact.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Best Regards,
David
I thought I was alone but no I'm not. You too you knew this movie when you were a kid and you too you love the music but you don't even know why and you don't care.
I'm happy to see it ! :)
***** Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer! I'm pleased that you enjoyed this. Timeless and nostalgic.Best Regards,
David
I'm 16 now and I loved this work of art!
tout l'amour d'une critique sociale qui ne se contente pas de décrier, mais qui se donne la peine de regarder les choses et phénomènes avec un clin d'oeil, un sacré bon humour et beaucoup de tendresse immanente ... merci pour cette belle synopsis!!!
Heart warming indeed, a movie to pass onto children to see.
Absolutely, Agene! A look at life with a gentle touch of humor throughout. Doesn't need computer-generated whiz-bang.
Thanks for commenting!

This is so beautiful...

I saw Jour de Fête with my mother when I was about 7 in 1951. I loved it. Around 12 years later I saw M.Hulot's Holiday and recognised Jacques Tati. I was hooked and have seen all his films dozens of times. They have a bitter sweet lost youth, nostalgia, kindly humour and wistfulness. I have never yet seen the closing shots of Jour de Fête - the little boy skipping behind the cavalcade with his colour changing balloon - dry eyed. I don't quite know why it moves me, it just does. A true genius reaching deep within us through pathos and fondness.
Very well put, phrcrook--thank you for posting this! Yes, such a brilliant and touching finale to the film--a fitting bookend to the similar opening upon the cavalcade's arrival. I too love Jour de Fête--so many touches of humor--like depositing the mail beneath the horse's tail in a hurry. I think the Passing Parade moving ineluctably along carries us lurching from crisis to catastrophe, leaving a vacuum replaced by nostalgia. I'm reminded of one of the all-time best lyrics I know, sung by American musician Bob Seger from his 'Against The Wind': "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then". (Of course, he was referring to a romance, but still...)
Best Regards,
David
i couldn't agree more, these films are just beautiful...
Esto es parte de mi infancia, de la que sólo me queda esta pequeña pieza...
Thank you for commenting, Alejandro! So many people fondly remember this film, and music, from their past (myself included). I'm glad that you enjoyed this!

Ceux qui tout comme moi, ont grandi dans les années 60 / 70, ne pourront qu’être touchés par cette musique
Les films , la musique , que du bonheur, je ne me lasse pas , je suis addict .😉
C'est beau , simple , magique .
Jacques Tati... 😁❤️
This is one of my favourite French Movie!! ~ Love From India
Un grand monsieur au coeur d'enfant qui se moquait des parvenus et nous faisait rire...
Love it. So glad to have a collection of these gems!
This is the most French I ever studied. Recalling many points in the film make anyone smile with amusement. and hilarity. The music is the antidote to any poison.
First saw this in the 1980s, watched it again this week. Oh nostalgia!
Nostalgia indeed, E.S. I first saw it in a theater, 1959, and was totally captivated, then and since. Thanks for visiting!
David
He descubierto a Tati el año pasado y ya tengo todas sus películas y cortos....me encanta..nunca es tarde.....sus músicas son encantadoras...un genio Tati y unos aliados compositores geniales (Alain Romans, Franck Barcellini, Leo Petit y Jean Yatove).
Je vous remercie de votre visite et commentant, François ! Nostalgie d'une époque plus simple, est n'est pas ? Et l'humour doux de Tati.
Sinceres salutations

Gentle, life affirming and full of wit and pathos. Tati is the perfect antidote to the shit day I've just had to wade through.
J'aime mettre cette musique à mon émeu le soir, ça le détend :)
Trans. I put this music to my EMU at night, it relaxes it :)
Now that's a first, TYT. I'm glad you both enjoy this! Thank you for visiting.

Delightful music - just like all of Tati's films!
Ah, Jacques Tati. A lovely genius for filmmaking...

Jacques Tati, todo un genio!
1958. Una tarde de primeros de noviembre, una cita inolvidable con una chica increíble. Mi primer amor. El que dicen que nunca se olvida por muchos años que pasen. Será así, porque siempre la tengo en mis recuerdos. Solo teníamos 14 años. Pero catorce años de los de antes
Hermoso ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
nostalgia = 1000
His movies are amazing-
Greetings, DThGrantland, and thanks for visiting!
There are two composers cited for this film:
Franck Barcellini (1920-2012), and
Alain Romans (1905, Poland - 1988)
I'm glad you enjoy this music, too.

David
Beau souvenir...
truly beautiful
Thank you for visiting and commenting, Voger! It is indeed beautiful music--I'm glad it's getting the play it deserves.
Best Regards,

Les films de Tati sont de purs poèmes. Il manque les musiques des vacances de Monsieur Hulot.
Playtime
Thanks. I was in high school when this film was released. I never noticed the music before. Of course, as with all Tati it is gentle, sly, witty, sophistated and so right.
So nice... thank you!
Great movie, as well
Rokudammela You're so welcome, Roku! I'm glad that you enjoyed this. Great movie indeed.
Best Regards,

j'adore ! autant les films que leurs musiques ! excellent ! toute la jeunesse !
I have the Criterion Collection boxed set of all Tati's movies. I watch most of them regularly. I first saw Mr. Hulot's Holiday at a tiny "Art Theater" in Saginaw, Michigan at about the time it came out (early 1950s). I've been a Tati fan ever since. Thanks for posting this.
You're most welcome, Peter! I believe I have the same boxed set--so fun. Thanks for visiting!
Best Regards,
David
Thank you for sharing this enchanting soundtrack. Movie was magical...
You're most welcome! I enjoy the research. I think Tati's first two films especially portray a gentle and perhaps wistful look at rural France, in a funny and often hilarious fashion. And the music--yes, the music is so captivating. Especially if you've seen the films, it plunks you back into the spot, in your mind's eye. (Plus, it's so relaxing, I've been known to fall asleep to it).
Best,
David
Merci beaucoup, cher ami.
You're so welcome, Siegfried, and thank you for visiting! I fully agree, the music is so enjoyable (as are the films).
Best Regards,
David
magnifique
C'est vrai, Maxime--Merci pour les bon mots!

今働く店で、ここ最近流れててずっと、どこかのディズニーのエリア曲っぽいと思ってU-tubeで探してたんだけど、ディズニーのエリア曲ではなかったようです。
SoundHoundにハミングして聞かせても正しく認識しなくて、今日キーボードで演奏して聞かせてやっと正しい答えを教えてくれ、この曲だとわかりました！
それにしても、かなりディズニーのエリア曲っぽいなぁ～
Je n'ai jamais vu le film (pas encore, faut que je le trouve) mais cette musique... Je l'ai déjà entendu avant... Et c'est vrai qu'elle me fait ressentir quelque chose ^^
cette musique un brin nostalgique sous un petit air primesautier, me rappelle...que j'ai pris de la bouteille !
Born in the same year the movie was made.................... Love it, think Jaques Tati is one of the most underestimated actor/ director ever.
So, I've got about 20 years on you, it seems--thank you for commenting! Indeed, Tati was brilliant. And his subtle humor and slapstick is all the funnier for its being understated. So many touches in this film--the kitchen glass, and his adjusting the window in his apartment to focus the sun on a bird in a cage so it would sing. The boys on the corner with traffic. Just awesome insights. And check out 'Jour de Fêtes' if you can. Actually, all 5.
Best Regards,
David
Very cool movie! A classic!
Chef d´oeuvre.
Queste musiche, che tanta leggerezza e tenerezza esprimono, molto ben si adattano a quell'indimenticato capolavoro che è stato "mon oncle"
Benvenuto, e grazie per aver commentato, Alberto. Adatto ed evocativo, questa musica sembra senza tempo.
Migliori saluti
David
Adorable.
A classic within a classic, ie the soundtrack "fits" 100% Mr. Hulot and his unique world of simple beauty making us laugh. That I cal genius.
You're so welcome, and thanks for visiting, Ká Pütz! This is fun, enjoyable music, and the films are classic.

Can't get enough of this clip. Finding the CD was tough, ending up at Amazon telling me it was not available for the moment. The 13ht of March I got an email that it's on its way, should arrive here next week. :)

Thank you very much for your notes (I forgot to read at the top) I don't know if Monsieur Hulot's France ever existed but Heaven should be like this ( and this must be the music sounding up there) Tati always reminds us that life is so wonderful!!
Thank you for visiting, Kristian, and for your comments. Indeed, besides the unmistakable humor, Tati's films evoke a strong sense of nostalgia.
