Время развлечений

 From the first minutes of the picture, I noticed how much work, imagination and time were invested. Each location is worked out in detail, and all the scenes in the film are filled with life and bustle, which is inherent in a large metropolis. In general, I would call it a satire on modern society, whose life is filled with absurd moments. The main character of the picture acts as an observer of everything that is happening in the film of the absurdity and stupidity of modern society and the metropolis. Most of the personnel shown in the film are more like robots that act on one primitive principle And begin to make mistakes mercilessly when the program or environment changes dramatically.


The director is constantly playing with the expectation of the viewer. he clearly understands that due to the abundance of details and events, the viewer will often lose sight of the main character. such interaction with the viewer is not often seen even in modern cinema. 


It is also interesting that the author shows the real treasures of the city only in reflections. I think in this way he wanted to say that many tourists see tourist places only artificially, not understanding the true beauty of the city.

In my opinion, two hours for such an idea, there are still a lot of such scenes.  if the author had added a rhythm, then the film would have seemed more advantageous to me. Since by the middle the picture is already beginning to tire and after the fervent imagination of the authors you begin to notice a certain monotony and despondency from viewing

Playtime (1967)

  Jacques Tati’s ‘Playtime’ is a film that is one of a kind – filled with inaudible conversations, static but bizarre movements in a place where there is no room for creation and individuality.  In the 1960s, French president Charles de Gaulle made a vow to develop his country’s economy and reform Paris into a modern city. Knocking down older houses in urban Right Bank districts, developers rebuilt parts of the city and its suburbs and put up modernized blocks of glass and steel in their place. High-rise structures were allowed within Paris for the first time, and their anonymous façades soured the City of Lights’ historical atmosphere and represented an unsightly contrast to her famous monuments. The city of the future was on its way, and its expansion was modeled according to dull, functional, pointedly Americanized specifications.     During this time, filmmaker Jacques Tati, who had grown up in the earthy quarters of Paris and lived there most of his life, decide...

Recently I watched Jacques Tati's movie which is called “Playtime”.  The director ridicules the ideal life in contemporary city where people don’t need curtains even on the first floor. He showed how the perfectionism in all industries interferes with people's daily lives. For example, there was a moment, when the man might have fallen because the floor was highly polished. Or lost janitor in airport, who tried to find litter, but he cannot.  Also, there are many clearly organized parking places during the whole adventure of the main character. And we can see the example of perfectionism in furniture, which after modifications return its shape back. People find their old friends in a crowd by surprise and lose each other as quickly as they met them. After watching I started to think about everyone’s idealization of their personality and life in reality. Many people try to introduce themselves to other in the best way. Sometime they lie or beautify their tastes or interest...
