Now YMMV and not enough context for the revised version of the trope.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Even discounting his general cluelessness regarding modern society, Hulot seems to have difficulty interacting with people, rarely maintaining eye contact and unable to get even basic greetings right.

Added DiffLines:
* CallBack: The kids of the neighborhood have a game where they whistle at people walking down the street and try to get them to bump into an inconveniently placed streetlight. At the end, after M. Arpel and his son have dropped off Hulot at the bus station, Arpel whistles for Hulot to come back. Hulot is gone, but a passerby is distracted by the whistling and bumps into a streetlight. The boy takes his father's hand, and they have bonded.
Added DiffLines:
* ItKindOfLooksLikeAFace: The upstairs bedroom of the Villa Arpel has two round windows that are rather suggestive of eyes. It makes the wall look like a face, even more so when M. and Mme. Arpel each poke a head up in the window to give the eyes pupils, and even ''more'' so when they do so at night with the lights in the bedroom lit to make the "eyes" glow.

Mon Oncle (My Uncle) is a 1958 film by JacquesTati. This film stars Tati in his second appearance as Monsieur Hulot. (previously seen in 1953's ''Monsieur Hulot's Holiday'') The film won the 1958 Oscar for best foreign language film and was also honored at Cannes.
The film generally focuses on quiet humorous events rather than outrageous slapstick. There is little dialog and scenes move slowly with a tendency to LeaveTheCameraRunning.
The overall theme of the film is the contrast between the vibrant life of Monsieur Hulot in his old Paris neighborhood and the bland life of his sister and brother-in-law, Madame and Monsieur Arpel, in the modern suburb that they live and work in. The Arpel's son Gerard loves to travel to the older part of the city with his uncle, but his parents see Monsieur Hulot as a bad influence. The plot of the film is a loose collection of scenes showing Monsieur Hulot's life as his sister and her husband interfere, trying to make him more respectable by getting him a job at the plastic factory and attempting to marry him to their neighbor.
Includes the following tropes:
* AsceticAesthetic: the Villa Arpel and the plastics factory
* CoolCar: Tati wants us to find Monsieur Arpel's three-tone 1956 Chevy vulgar, but it's hard not to love it.
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: a rare comedic example that is not played for an OverlyLongGag
* LimitedWardrobe: Monsieur Hulot's hat, extra long stemmed pipe, too-short pants, overcoat and umbrella.
* MalevolentArchitecture: The Villa again, although it's a light comedic example of this trope.
* MistakenForSpecialGuest: Inverted, the special guest is mistaken for a traveling rug saleswoman due to her carpet like caftan dress.
* RunningGag: Madame Arpel turning on/turning off the fish fountain when guests arrive
* SmartHouse: Monsieur and Madame Arpel's villa.
* StepfordSuburbia: lampooned via the Arpels and their neighbors.
