If Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton would have successfully survived up until this point in cinema, it is easy to think this is what they would have created. Arguably Jacques Tati's ("Mr. Hulot's Holiday") masterpiece, "Playtime" transports Monsieur Hulot (Tati himself) through the chaotic reality of a French metropolis as he attempts to keep an appointment.
