2010 In Pictures #6

Play Time (1967)
Dir: Jacques Tati

Utterly beguiling Jacques Tati comedy-fantasy-tableaux…*thing*. It’s almost indescribable. Though it has no story, no real central characters and no set pieces to speak of, it’s surreal, very funny and dazzlingly constructed in every way. One of those pictures which it’s difficult to fathom was actually crated by somebody. A remarkable and quite lovely experience.
