Reviewer Charlie Largent plumbs the comedic mystery of Jacques Tati’s eccentric conceptual masterpiece, originally filmed in 65mm. Tati’s iconic character is adrift in a modern Paris of glass buildings and confusing habits, observing ‘civilization in action’ in one fascinating set-piece after another: an Airport passenger space, a cubicle-forested office, a trade show, the debut of a chi-chi nitery. It’s like a giant game of Where’s Waldo Tati … and mysteriously, charmingly positive-minded. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
