Description

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.

  2. When dispatched delivery was very fast

  3. Great price and service.

  4. A bit expensive but that’s expected with imported items. Pleasantly surprised with the delivery. A small box and two layers of bubble wrap to prevent any damage. Nicely done!
