France
★ 7.1 editorial score
Tati built a working modern city on the edge of Paris and it bankrupted him: there is no plot, no close-up, and something funny in every corner of the frame.
“Jacques Tati's "Playtime"...is one of a kind, complete in itself, a species already extinct at the moment of its birth...Instead of plot it has a cascade of incidents, instead of central characters it has a cast of hundreds, instead of being a comedy it is a wondrous act of observation. It occupies no genre and does not create a new one. It is a filmmaker showing us how his mind processes the world around him.”
