Jacques Tati / FR, 1967 / 124 min.
Jacques Tati’s magnum opus. Monsieur Hulot is caught in a bleak and soul-destroying Paris filled with lifeless steel and glass architecture, an increasingly dehumanised world. Tati shot the film in a specially constructed film set, ‘Tativille’. New 4K restoration.
To capture the impersonal nature of modern cities, Tati filmed mainly in total shots, in which the characters seem to drown. InPlaytime, he sketches a world obsessed with money, excessive luxury, strange technology and frigid architecture. In this world there are no more individuals, just masses: everyone is preoccupied with themselves, and with working.
