35 — 'Playtime' & 'Mon Oncle' — Modern life in Tativille
About Buildings + Cities - A podcast by Luke Jones & George Gingell Discuss Architecture, History and Culture
Categories:
Jacques Tati's 'Mon Oncle' (1957) and 'Playtime' (1967) playfully dramatise the clash between old and new in the fast-changing cities of post-war France. Nostalgia, alienation, the absurdity of modern life and work, play, rhythm, rebellion and the curious affordances of materials and everyday items... serious fun, with silly noises.
Hope you're all enjoying the summer weather and speak soon!
