The Centquatre arts center has recreated the modernist Villa Arpel, the house of Géard’s family featured in “Mon Oncle.” The villa was central to the film’s criticism of rampant post-war American consumerism, with its profusion of supposedly efficient electrical gadgetry and angular furniture, rendering it a paradoxically uncomfortable and impractical place to live.

The movie is on youtube.
