Interesting to know that you started with Playtime, the third movie in Tati's Hulot series.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-7013533590058794012011-05-05T20:48:43.346+05:302011-05-05T20:48:43.346+05:30Thanks a lot Johny for stopping by and sharing you...Thanks a lot Johny for stopping by and sharing your love for Tati's films. Yes, the film's comedy & fun are unidimensional in nature - every viewer can draw his own enjoyment and pleasure out of them. And by the way, really liked your site... expect me to be a regular visitor of your site henceforth :)Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-75960178827080352052011-05-05T20:46:11.189+05:302011-05-05T20:46:11.189+05:30Thanks Sam for the good words.

Consequently Mr. Hulot is a distinct creation that is Tati's & Tati's alone, and one of the great movie characters. Yeah, I hadn't mentioned in my review, but the film's soundtrack too was really nice! Great to know that you got to see Mon Oncle & Playtime recently. I too intend to watch them soon.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-6446564778302063842011-05-05T08:34:49.205+05:302011-05-05T08:34:49.205+05:30I just ordered this on blu-ray and can't wait ...I just ordered this on blu-ray and can't wait to revisit! PLAY TIME was my first Tati and I laughed out loud and felt a joyish rush, much the same way Chaplin's CITY LIGHTS affected me. Tati's films make me feel good to be alive.Alex DeLargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050773136046485614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-80353004705451251832011-05-05T07:40:19.554+05:302011-05-05T07:40:19.554+05:30I'm a huge Tati fan and will be posting a revi...I'm a huge Tati fan and will be posting a review of one of his films in the near future. I find his work fascinating in that scenes can be funny in multiple ways depending on what you're looking at. It's beautiful comedy that relies on careful orchestration. Nice take on this.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656287096270976604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-49125728206589681972011-05-05T00:06:52.569+05:302011-05-05T00:06:52.569+05:30Yes, Shubhajit, this is one of the most venerated ...Yes, Shubhajit, this is one of the most venerated screen classics are for some the most memorable appearance of this incomparable silent era-patterned clown. True, Tati is not the equal of Chaplin nor Keaton, but he's a genius nonetheless, and his modest output rewards re-viewings. I recently saw MON ONCLE at the Forum, and am hoping they give both this film and the masterful PLAYTIME a run in the near future. But you've nailed it here with your splendid description of Hulot, and the unusual "soundtrack." <br /><br />Perfect capsule!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
