Heralded as one of the greatest films of all time, Jacques Tati’s masterpiece takes place in a hyper-consumerist mid-century Paris and follows a befuddled Frenchman lost in the maze of impersonal ultramodern buildings and office complexes.
Inspired by president Charles de Gaulle’s 1960s vow to reform Paris, which resulted in older houses being torn down and replaced with brutalist blocks of glass and steel, this is Tati’s ode to the old quarters of the city where he grew up.
Screening as part of Architecture on Film, a film season in Jan and Feb inspired by the release of The Brutalist.
