Playtime
Meta Narrative: In Tati’s Playtime, modernity comes alive into a dizzying height as the denizens and visitors of Paris attempts to reconcile with their overmodernized built environment. It is considered a masterpiece of modern cinema and one of the most critical objectification of modernism through its use of narrative satire and highly choreographed sets and cinematography. While normal narrative follows random patrons of the Tati’s hyper modern universe, metanarrative points to the drawback of modern city and its often humorous consequences on its inhabitants.
