Where to Watch Playtime
- neuroparadoxJune 21, 2026A masterpiece on every level. Holds up after 60 years 100% and is nightmarishly prescient and surreal in its relatability. Tati uses every millimeter of the frame all the time while also using sound (or absence of sound) in a such a masterful way that blew my mind...it's like nothing I've ever watched before, and it's brilliant and chaotic and cacophonous and laugh out your ass loud funny. Legitimately one of my new favorite movies ever made. It's so refreshing and cathartic to find new, legendary-tier, essentially perfect movie.
