I have Playtime at home, on VHS, an didn't bring it with me to uni, because I don't have a VHS player whilst here. It is, however, available, in the university library. Somebody else was praising Tati the other day to me, saying they didn't know any other filmmaker who could produce a film which constantly packed action into the background and foreground of a frame.
It certainly got me interested, anyway.

Yeah, Playtime has been staring at me from a video store shelf for several weeks now. Wasn't aware it was a comedy.

i recently watched the 4 Hulot movies (the Trafic Criterion is going OOP soon! see it now!) and was extremely impressed. they are so meticulously crafted with so much going on visually. Playtime is truly something to behold. Its like a fucking Martian came down to Earth and watched some movies, then tried to make his own. Its a perfectly controlled chaos with way too much going on in so many parts for the human brain to take in upon one viewing. Id like to visit it 10-12 more times in my life, hopefully remembering to look at other parts of the screen during certain scenes. Playtime  Mon Oncle M. Hulots Holiday  Trafic |
