Playtime

I just rewatched Jacques Tati's Playtime. It's such a charming movie. The choreography is beautiful and the cinematography so well composed, it's brilliant! It was interesting to find out that Tati was a mime in the late 30's.



Here's a little description from wikipedia:
In Play Time, Tati's character, M. Hulot, and a group of American tourists lose themselves in a futuristic glass and steel Paris, where only human nature and a few hints of old Paris briefly breathe life into the city. New technologies, billed as conveniences, are represented as merely complicating life and an interference to natural human interaction.
