Playtime (1967)

Directed by Jacques Tati, the film follows Monsieur Hulot, played by the director itself, as he ventures through the gadget-filled streets of Paris in pursuit of a business contact, inadvertently paralleling the journey of a curious American tourist. Their whimsical encounters, set against a monumental urban backdrop and infused with minimal dialogue and inventive sound effects, create a visual and comedic masterpiece that celebrates the art of laughter and human connection amidst the chaos of modern life.
