Regarded by many as Jacques Tati’s masterpiece, Playtime is a surreal, comic vision of mankind’s battle against the overwhelming depersonalisation of modern life.
Tati stars as the hapless Hulot, who ambles through the massive metropolis specially constructed for the film – one of the most ambitious and imaginative film sets ever to grace the screen. The film is a multi-layered symphony of sight and sound gags. Jokes unfold in various parts of the frame simultaneously and the soundtrack – a meticulously composed cacophony of footsteps, gibberish, and lounge music – only adds to the absurdity.
Extra Features:
- Newly remastered to High Definition
- Dual Format Edition: includes both Blu-ray and the DVD versions of the main feature
- Feature commentary by film historian Philip Kemp
- Short Documentary Au-delà de Playtime (DVD only)
