PlayTime (Blu-Ray, #112)

PlayTime (Blu-Ray, #112)

Jacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis withĀ PlayTime.Ā For this monumental achievement, a nearly three-year-long, bank-breaking production, Tati again thrust the lovably old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot, along with a host of other lost souls, into a baffling modern world, this time Paris. With every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness,Ā PlayTimeĀ is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion.
