My American Uncle

Free will? What is that? A cynical deconstruction of life’s unpredictability owing to an innovative combination of fiction and documentary by Alain Resnais, which dissociates us from fairy tales and encourages us to look at ourselves in the face - along with a few mice.

Synopsis

The intersecting stories of three people and the important decisions they have to take at some point in their lives, are used to develop Henri Laborit's theories about human behavior and the relationship between individuals and society.
