  This guy is a master when it comes to critic the bourgeoisie. It is incredible how people can be so superficial and pointless. This film represents the real society of spectacle where the person who has the prettiest toy is the winner and gets praise. Tati warned us but we didn't care, that is why our world is like you see it...

  As with all of Tati's works, the only thing in Playtime exceeding the satire and endless parade of sight gags is the exquisite amount of character crammed into every frame. The masses of humanity on display are given indelible life and individuality as they stream in and out of each scene, embodying the whimsy of the world they inhabit, creating a viewing experience akin to Hitchcock's Rear Window, magnified by 100.

  François Truffaut praised it as "a film that comes from another planet, where they make films differently".

  Sort of a silent comedy, with sound but no talking. Such clever sight gags! Tati's crowning glory!

  Unlike complex films that require additional viewings to "get it," Tati's film needs to be seen in order to see all that he places in front of the camera. Definitely in a league of its own and is undoubtedly the director's most mature film.
