Tati’s gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in the age of technology reached their creative apex with Play Time. For this monumental achievement, a nearly three-year-long, bank-breaking production, Tati again thrust the endearingly clumsy, resolutely old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot, along with a host of other lost souls, into a bafflingly modernist Paris.
