A staff/volunteer pick (Jack M's!) to celebrate the Guild Cinema's 60th year in operations!   (Special thanks to our friends at GUILD TURNS 60!)

Jacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with PlayTime. For this monumental achievement, a nearly three-year-long, bank-breaking production, Tati again thrust the lovably old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot, along with a host of other lost souls, into a baffling modern world, this time Paris. With every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness, PlayTime is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion.

"Another genius movie that made the foibles of everyday existence into grand set pieces..." - Hannah Kinney-Kobre, Pittsburgh City Paper

"This kind of film exists on a level all its own." - Brian Eggert, Deep Focus Review

"There is not a written description of the film that would ever begin to do it justice, but it happens to be one of those rare, supremely unique and utterly mind boggling examples of cinematic possibilities." - Nicholas Bell, IONCINEMA.com
