See «Playtime», Jacques Tati's old masterpiece, again and again

More than fifty years after its release, Playtime still shines with genius. What is man's place in industrial society? This is surely the central question posed by this slapstick comedy, which ruined its director, Jacques Tati. Playtime has nothing in common with the mawkish, greasy antics so often produced by French cinema today. The result of an unparalleled aesthetic effort, this feature film fully deserves its place among the greatest films in the history of cinema. And, like all masterpieces, it still speaks to us today.
«Grand Piano»: music, really?

«Grand Piano»: music, really?

ARTICLE LONG FORMAT, Eugène Praz | Grand Piano (2013), du réalisateur espagnol Eugenio Mira, est un film comique prenant pour prétexte la musique classique au sens large. Ne se présentant apparemment pas comme tel, mais plutôt comme un thriller psychologique exprimant une angoisse ponctuée d’humour sporadique, c’est pourtant bien ce qu’il est. Rires garantis.
