ce film est un chef d'œuvre de mise en scène, il y a du mouvement tout le temps, il n'y a pas de moment de repos mais c'est un peut ce de quoi le film souffre. je trouve la première partie du film magnifique, que ce soit ses décors ou ses plans on est pas loin de la perfection (oui). mais la deuxième moitié est beaucoup moins intéressante étant donné qu'il y a énormément de personnages et que tout se passe dans la même pièce (plus ou moins) . En plus de ça le film n'a pas réellement d'intrigue, on arrive a comprendre ce qu'il se passe mais justement il ne se "passe" pas grand chose et on est juste là pour observer une scène. c'est particulier

Magnifique! Photographically this is as luscious a film as they come -- angles and forms and tones and movements speak volumes all in themselves, above and beyond any narrative point or structure. I read the word "alienating" thrown around in reference to this one but I couldn't be more energized by the visual WEIGHT of Tati's composition and direction. The vantage point is poised to take in the full measure of architecture and humanity choreographed all along its cobalt-gray expanse. A more meticulous production I seldom find, or one more superbly matched to the 70mm format. I feel I'm as distanced from Hulot's 1953 provincial, sand-in-your-shorts resort as can possibly be. But with that earlier scenario's own shade of tourism, and its occupants just as self-concerned and making their day-to-day way, I can find the same thread of Tati's awareness even with the Hulot character almost completely moved into the periphery. We have all the absurdities of urban life still freewheeling about and forcing their asymmetry against the clean, so-called pure forms we've built up around ourselves. With so many particles moving around on screen at the same time, I'm certain new details, gags, and delicate character interactions could be found on any future viewing. What a wonderful slow wave we can all still ride to this day.

Genuinely one of the best looking films I have seen  Extremely funny and a very accurate look at modern day  Vibes movie but a more artistically driven vibes film at least for me

Una santira moderna que emula la visión que Chaplin planteaba en su tiempos modernos años antes, un deleite visual repleto de Gags oportunos a una narrativa pausada que desafía al espectador más inquieto que espera buscar una trama en concreto que se desarrolle principio a fin, la paleta de colores simplificado a la perfección ese vacio sistematizado del capitalismo a la sociedad moderna, ese retrato irónico de complacencia hacia la burguesía mientras el capitalismo se come el mundo es un retrato tan fiel a la realidad actual que para la época era entendible que no se viera como punto a favor de la obra.

I admire Tati’s ability to find pockets of humanity in environments deliberately designed to suppress it. Sprawling, unrelenting, hopeful. Bless this man
