playtime
Back on the Internet, sorta: I've been on 'oliday. More of that later, but this couldn't wait.
The BFI have finally released Playtime on DVD, pretty much my favourite film. It's Jacques Tati's master work, a comic 125 minute dream, told in a modern city dystopia that actually saw Tati build a mini-city as a 6 acre set (which if I remember burnt down and had to be rebuilt). If you love freeform comedy, cities, architecture, the 60s or even France, you have to see this film. Well, I like it.
The film contains a scene in a travel agency that includes some fantastic posters.
The rest of Tati's films are being released later in the year - I really can't wait.
