Playtime

Jacques Tati’s playgrounds are office buildings and dinner parties. Monsieur Hulot navigates a glass-and-steel Paris where doors, stairs and elevators conspire against him on the way to a business meeting, occasionally bumping into an oblivious American tourist. The film’s genius lies in finding comedy in things that have no plot at all.
