Jacques Tati’s gloriousIy choreographed, nearIy wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technoIogy reached their apotheosis with PIayTime. For this monumental achievement, a nearly three-year-Iong, bank-breaking production, Tati again thrust the IovabIy old-fashioned Monsieur HuIot, along with a host of other lost souIs, into a baffling modern worId, this time Paris. With every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness, PIayTime is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of obIivion.
