Playtime <\/em>(1967) Directed by Jacques Tati. 1hr 55min. Not Rated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French mime, screenwriter, and director Jacques Tati\u2019s hapless, old-world alter ego Monsieur Hulot appeared in four sublime comedies from 1953 through 1971. Hulot\u2019s third go-round, Playtime<\/em>, a commercial and critical disaster upon its original release, is now ranked 23rd in the 2022 Sight & Sound<\/em> critics\u2019 poll of the greatest films ever made. A feast for the eyes, Playtime<\/em> stages subtle choreography within graphic, mid-century production design, as Hulot embarks on a 24-hour trip through a bewildering, hyperconsumerist Paris. The influence of Tati\u2019s alter ego on the Pee-wee Herman character is palpable: both are postmodern clowns in distinct visual worlds, who virtuosically reimagine physical comedy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This film is part of the Pee-wee\u2019s Most Favoritest Films<\/a> series (April 5 \u2013 19).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
