Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 33 minutes!!!!!!! In French (France) and English versions with English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love both subbed and dubbed versions of the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Insomniac X Dry but visually impressive absurdist comedy. Tati's characters wander through a maze of elaborately constructed but drab set pieces which foreshadow the dystopian environments of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil," resulting in a vision of modern alienation that leans closer to modern art than narrative fiction. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Alexsander F Ótimo filme de Jacques Tati, leve e cômico que é a sua marca registrada, mas dessa vez ele usou o humor para fazer críticas a sociedade capitalista e moderna da época, claro que as pessoas para perceberem isso terão que ter um outro tipo de olhar para com a obra. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Martijn t We all need a drunk American rich guy who gets the party started at the club, even if said club is not ready (yet) for that much partying. A friend and me joke that every Italian and French movie from the 60s and 70s has a nightclub scene. Well, here's the mother of all nightclub scenes in glorious 70mm. The only other Tati film I'd seen before is Jour de Fête, which I thought was pretty awful, but PlayTime is infinitely better. It's like the missing link between Modern Times and Severance. My favourite part is near the beginning, when mr. Hulot has to wait to be admitted to the waiting room, but the chatter among the American tourists delivered every time too. The paradox of this film is that as much as Tati seems to hate mass consumerism, uniform and cold architecture and busy traffic, and just good old marxist alienation, the camera loves a lot of those glass and steel buildings. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Shioka O Spent pleasant time in Paris with Tati. Aesthetically satisfying, almost all footages are like a sophisticated graphic design. it's not about a plot, funny moments are carefully placed everywhere. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/19/22 Full Review Audience Member Hard to figure what this almost plotless film was. First half in particular is an intentionally grey satire of modern life. Picked up pace in the restaurant in the second half of the film where the funniest capers ensue. Hulot the old dog has a fan in the hot American woman who prob should have a sleep and a shower before getting on her flight home. Too dull in places to recommend but it has its moments.
