Playtime, 1967: Janus Films, 126 min. Dir.Jacques Tati. Monsieur Hulot must contact an American official in Paris, but he gets caught in a tourist invasion and roams around the city with a group of American tourists, causing chaos in his usual manner. In true Tati fashion, we are shown Paris as a stylish maze of mid-century modern architecture filled with the latest technological gadgets.
