Description

dir: Jacques Tati - 1967 - 2 hrs 4mins Jacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with PlayTime. For this monumental achievement, a nearly three-year-long, bank-breaking production, Tati again thrust the lovably old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot, along with a host of other lost souls, into a baffling modern world, this time Paris. With every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness, PlayTime is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion. Bargain Bin Film School is the only non-accredited film school in the greater Kansas City Area taught by someone who's only taken ONE film class in college. Each month BBFS looks at a heralded or overlooked classic of world cinema, but this time with less film bros ad more fun.
