Watch and Discuss: Playtime (1967)

Watch the movie in your own time, then we will meet up to discuss! From the Criterion Collection: 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. You can rent it on Apple TV or Prime, but I also found this link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l3L7aXoFAIo&ra=m The event is free, but the monthly subscription to run the group is $40. There is a suggested donation of $5.00, but I want to keep the group accessible, so feel free to pay what/if you can. You can give cash or Venmo me when we meet up.
