Les lignes géométriques ne rendent pas les gens aimables [geometrical lines do not produce likeable people].Filmmaker Jacques Tati on Villa Arpel, the comically painful modern house depicted in his satire Mon Oncle. You can watch a nice video of the house being reconstructed piece by piece for the recent Tati exposition at the Cinémathèque Française.
