Mon Oncle
Available on VHS. The best copy available is the Criterion Collection DVD, which offers the French- and English-language soundtracks. The Criterion laserdisc, from , only has the English-language track. It is widely available, also, on videotape. From the Bellos book: “The original version.with piano-solo sound track has been lost. The 16mm and 35mm copies in distribution give the remake or else the version, which is the same save for the inserted “shark-tooth” sequence in the collapsing kayak episode. Video copies available in Britain and the USA are all of the version.” Tati inserted the “shark-tooth” sequence to which Bellos refers as a parody of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws
