PLAYTIME 1967 Jacques Tati self-service umbrella STILL

Original 11 3/4 inch x 9 1/4 inch Still of JACQUES TATI in his 1967 Comedy PLAYTIME.

Jacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with PlayTime. For this monumental achievement, a nearly three-year-long, bank-breaking production, Tati again thrust the lovably old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot, along with a host of other lost souls, into a baffling modern world, this time Paris. With every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness, PlayTime is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion.

The still, on doubleweight paper, is in very good condition.
