Marking the third appearance of Tati's Mr. Magoo-like character, Mr. Hulot, Playtime takes as its subject modern technology and its sometimes disastrous and always hilarious effects on the people living within it. As in most Tati films, a minimal plot (the parallel paths of Hulot and a group of American tourists), is held together by a seamless ballet of visual, aural, and conceptual gags.
