I recently watched this based on your recommendation and I ended up really enjoying it. It really is a film that takes multiple viewings to catch everything going on in the frame.
One aspect that I especially liked was the music. I’ve been looking for the soundtrack, but have had no luck. Would anyone know where I could get it?

Tati is trully a one of a kind comedian master, so sad to see his aged Hulo in Trafic

Love the short in the supplement of CC release, he gave us a wonderful comedy master class.

Actually Mike, it was YOUR birth that set off a worldwide appreciation for Jacques Tati’s Play Time. It was, and is, your destiny. I’m sorry you had to find this out in such a public forum.

I hope you take this information and use it for good, as the temptation to give in to Earthly pleasure and positions of power will always be great. Just know that your forefathers are watching over you and will always be there in times of need.

P.S. Check under the third hay bail in the loft above the horse barn. There you will find your family crest…a jewel encrusted shield which will protect you from Gaalk’s intergalactic weaponry.

Good luck and godspeed.

Well HD is no match for 70mm, so no. It was recognized as a “masterpiece” April 12, 1972.

When did this “masterpiece” get recognized? Was it HD that did the trick? (It’s okay to ignore me, Jay.)
