Playtime movie



This is a great movie that examines and pokes fun at modern architecture. It also shows Tati's fascination with peoples choreographed movements as they negotiate the modernist labyrinth. As we think out the spaces we examine - is there a rhythm to how people navigate through the space? how does modern architecture affect the rhythm of the space? Throughout the film the viewer is invited to explore the space offered to us - Tati presents long shots spanning all angles- it really helps the viewer experience the spaces and helps us understand what Tati was trying to show us.
I own it and would happy to lend it to anyone that is interested- just let me know
