 |
| The Fish Sculpture Fountain must always be switched on for special visitors! |
 |

| Staircase ... sublime! |
I saw this film a number of years ago and was touched not only by Tati's comic genius and wonderful design aesthetic, but also his critique on modern life.
This hysterically charming film illustrates the pitfalls of postwar modernism, the obsession with consumerism, and the constant desire to achieve the ultimate aesthetic.
Oh dear! Not much has changed and I find myself strangely identifying with this......

I think it is my absolute all time favourite film. We were shown it at uni in an architecture history lecture, and were told to always keep it in my mind throughout our careers!
ReplyDeleteIt's so brilliantly clever and witty.
I Love this film!
ReplyDeleteI always remember the clippety clop of the secretary's heels on the pavement at the plastics factory.
I really want to see this again.
Where do I get this film?
