PlayTime

Comedy

1967, Movie, 1h 55min

Jacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with PLAYTIME. 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, PLAYTIME is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion.

Hypnotic and one of a kind. Sort of perfect.

Playtime is wonderfully controlled and contrived, with deep-focus scenes of surreality that must surely have inspired Roy Andersson.

Teknisk og visuelt en af de mest imponerende film nogensinde, fans a Wes Andersons film kan se hvor han har lært en stor del af sine tricks. Det skal dog også siges at filmen, med en længde over 2 timer, er noget udmattende.
