Criterion Collection - Playtime - UHD

A financial failure upon it's first release, but now recognized as a gem of film comedy, creator/star Jacques Tati's spoof of 20th-century city life follows Gallic Everyman Mr. Hulot on a dizzying trip through contemporary Paris, where he gets caught up with a group of American tourists and becomes the unwitting cause of a new "high-tech" nightclub's destruction. Some of the sparse dialogue was written by Art Buchwald. 124 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; documentaries; interview; bonus short "Cours du Soir" (1967); more. In French with English subtitles.
