Playtime: Dual Format Edition (Blu ray + DVD) BFI Top 100 2012 RRP 19.99 
Tati, Jacques
Regarded by many as Jacques Tati's masterpiece, Playtime is a surreal, comic vision of modern life in which the director's much-loved character, Monsieur Hulot - accompanied by a cast of tourists and well-heeled Parisians - turns unintentional anarchist when set loose in an unrecognisable Paris of steel skyscrapers, chrome-plated shopping malls and futuristic night spots.
