Thanks, Brandon! I'll take your suggestion.

And yeah, I've only seen Playtime on VHS and some years ago, too, when I had much less of a film vocabulary, so I imagine that a lot of it was lost on me. Tati gets a lot of love from people I respect, so I'm going to try him again on the tv set. I'll be sure to take the next opportunity to catch Playtime on the big screen, though, regardless.

Nice feature, thanks. I'd suggest going ahead and getting too esoteric on occasion. An interesting movie which ain't out on dvd is more worth taping than an interesting movie which is out on dvd.

And as for Jacques Tati, Playtime only works on the big screen (and it's one of only 3-4 movies for which I'll say that), so if you watched on video, there's the explanation.
