Clumsy Monsieur Hulot finds himself perplexed by the intimidating complexity of a gadget-filled Paris. He attempts to meet with a business contact but soon becomes lost. His roundabout journey parallels that of an American tourist, and as they weave through the inventive urban environment, they intermittently meet, developing an interest in one another. They eventually get together at a chaotic restaurant, along with several other quirky characters.

I loved how Tati plays with the visuals (the perspective of the shots, the reflections) and especially the sounds. It's like a modern silent movie, but still as enjoyable because the scenes make sense without the need for dialogue. By removing the dialogues, you notice some (maybe exaggerated) everyday sounds that you would definitely miss. This film makes you feel like you're watching the characters through their lives, just like sitting in a crowded road and looking at the people walking by. It finds interesting ways to look at modern life. It clearly isn't an over-the-top american comedy, that tries to make you laugh all the time. Play Time has slow moments, but also hilarious ones of course. It's closer to art than entertainment.

It is not a movie. It is a masterful machinery of human interactions and movements.

the brilliant and meticulously planned hustle and bustle of this city made me feel like in a silly lil zoo for humans.

A passion project for director (and reticent star) Jacques Tati, who exhausted his network of financial benefactors and most of his personal fortune to see it through, _PlayTime_ is a difficult film to categorize. It’s both a comedy and a commentary, pondering the necessity of cutting-edge comfort More
