Spine 112: PlayTime
from Lost in Criterion · host Lost in Criterion
Every Jacques Tati film we watch is my new favorite Jacques Tati film. This week it's his third M. Hulot film PlayTime (1967). Playing on the same anti-modernism themes of his earlier work, PlayTime is, well, even more playful. Massive, repetitive, dehumanizing sets, delightfully subtle comedic moments.
