Playtime is a surreal, comic vision of mankind's battle against the overwhelming depersonalisation of modern life. Hulot bumbles through this massive metropolis and there are jokes in sight and sound, with a specially composed soundtrack of footsteps, gibberish and lounge music. The film concludes on a positive note, with individualism seeming to make a comeback on the streets of Paris.
