Play Time

Jacques Tati - 1967 - France
  • Tati masterpiece entrances viewer without typical story elements like dialogue, plot, character, exposition.
  • A film about architecture that is told with an architectural style.
  • Shot in 70 mm with a bluish minimal color scheme.
  • Informal sequel to Mon Oncle; same themes on a grander scale; bemusement (but not horror) at the modern world on the part of an old-fashioned guy.
  • Tati went bankrupt paying to complete the film, and it was not a financial success.
