Mon Oncle d’Amerique (Bravo Monday at 7 p.m., early Tuesday at 12:15 a.m. and noon). A pristine 1980 study in despair and growing madness: director Alain Resnais and writer Jean Gruault juxtapose anthropological comment with a triangular study of three people--in industry, media or the arts--trapped in a relentless flux of events. With Gerard Depardieu and Nicole Garcia.

Monterey Pop (Cinemax Wednesday at 11:30 p.m.) A great rock concert film that today seems an exercise in near-necrophilia: Among the acts recorded in 1968 were Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin (the set here made her a star), the Who (with Keith Moon), and the Mamas and Papas.
