Resnais counters philosopher Laborit's deterministic view with poignant montage sequences, constant cutting back to childhood memories & old movie clips. Are we all prisoners of our biological origins? Can our good memories trump our childhood traumas? Are we capable of leaping over our biological makeup of self preservation & think of others? Beautifully constructed, playful and thoroughly thought provoking Mon oncle d’Amerique is a true masterpiece. #alainresnais #gerarddepardieu #nicolegarcia
