Reel Rap discusses Jacques Tati’s masterpiece PlayTime, one of the most ambitious and excellent films ever made

This week it’s down to brass tacks as Reel Rap explores a film that’s overwhelming in every sense. PlayTime (1967) may have disappointed contemporary audiences and landed Jacques Tati in director jail, but history has more than vindicated it. The boys try not to drag its fine name through the muck as they discuss shallow cultural experiences, tactile comedy and the value of good ol’ American loudmouths.
