Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mon Oncle Antoine is a 1971 Canadian film directed and co-written by Claude Jutra, and produced by the National Film Board of Canada.It is set in a mining town in rural Quebec (and thus is in the French language) sometime around the 1940s. Antoine and his wife Cecile own a general store that is the focus of business in the little town. Antoine also has a second business as the town funeral director. The story is told from the perspective of his nephew Benoit, in his early teens, who works for his uncle as an assistant in both businesses. Also working in the general store are Carmen, a teenaged girl that Benoit is attracted to, and Fernand, who is attracted to his boss's wife. It's Christmastime, and everyone at the store is busy preparing for the holiday rush, and other business presents itself when Antoine and Benoit have to go far into the country to take custody of a corpse.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Black Comedy: When Antoine and Benoit set out to collect the body of Jos Poulin's 15-year-old son, Antoine confidently asserts that a medium-sized coffin should be big enough. It isn't, and they kind of have to cram the body into a too-short casket. The Black Comedy gets amped up later when Antoine puts the whip to the horse on the way back home, and the coffin falls out of the sleigh.

The Alcoholic: Antoine is drinking constantly, including in the morning when he's working at the store. Benoit contemptuously calls him a drunkard when Antoine makes his In Vino Veritas confession late in the film.

Abusive Parents: Carmen lives with Antoine and Cecile, but she has a father in town. Apparently the sum of her father's involvement with her is when he comes to the store to collect her wages. Fernand asks Antoine "why don't you just adopt her?" Carmen breaks down crying after her father leaves.
