There are many things to enjoy in the classic "M. Hulot's Holiday," but one bit I never tire of is the way music playing/listening (and the 78s and phonographs that enable it) figures so strongly in the film's joy.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 31: Spot the #Eiffel Tower on #EiffelTowerDay
Never was or will I be a fan of Jacques #Tati, the loveable Luddite who wouldn't be as big as he became if it wasn't for the technological wonders of the 20th century. Having said that, his #Playtime (1967) holds a special place in my heart. Tati's alter ego Monsieur #Hulot roams a hyper-modern #Paris, actually an enormous soundstage dubbed #Tativille. People, buildings and gadgets interact with and against each other, each and everyone as plotless as a prop. In unison, it becomes a perfectly orchestrated symphony of maddening modernism. But Tati wouldn't be Tati if it wasn't for a glimpse of quiet nostalgia. A woman holding the glass-and-steel entrance door of yet another concrete office building. In the glass, a burst of warm light and colour and movement. And then it's gone, and we remember how that tower once was the thorn in the Luddite's eye, that “baroque and mercantile fancy of a builder of machines”.

Ça ne le distingue pas en effet de l'utilisation qu'eb ont fait également #Hulot, #Bayou, etc. 🤡

Ton utilisation des médias à des seules fins de justification est violente. Tu inverses la culpabilité, tes mots sont cruels et on ressent bien qu'à priori tu n'as pas compris la leçon.
