    Content: "Jacques Tati is viewed as one of the most innovative filmmakers in the history of cinema. At the same time, he also achieved global box-office success and a devoted following. In drawing on and subverting the conventions of film comedy, Tati not only satirized aspects of modern life, he attempted to develop in his viewers a playful, participatory attitude toward the modern world in order to overcome what he saw as a passivity characteristic of modernity. Malcolm Turvey argues that Tati captured both an elite and a popular audience by combining a modernist aesthetic with slapstick, sight gags, and other popular traditions of comedian-centered comedy that had developed in the silent era. In discussing films such as Play Time, Mon Oncle, and Mr. Hulot's Holiday, Turvey describes Tati's distinct comedic sensibility as one that was 'democratic' in allowing the viewer to choose what to look at in a particular scene. In addition to considering Tati's distinct comedic style, Turvey also considers the director's satirical view of the bourgeoisie and his love/hate relationship with modernity. Amply illustrated with images from the Tati's films, Play Time provides an illuminating and in-depth understanding of the richness of Tati's work"--

    Content: Jacques Tati is widely regarded as one of the greatest postwar European filmmakers. He made innovative and challenging comedies while achieving international box office success and attaining a devoted following. In Play Time, Malcolm Turvey examines Tati’s unique comedic style and evaluates its significance for the history of film and modernism.Turvey argues that Tati captured elite and general audiences alike by combining a modernist aesthetic with slapstick routines, gag structures, and other established traditions of mainstream film comedy. Considering films such as Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday (1953), Mon Oncle (1958), Play Time (1967), and Trafic (1971), Turvey shows how Tati drew on the rich legacy of comic silent film while modernizing its conventions in order to encourage his viewers to adopt a playful attitude toward the modern world. Turvey also analyzes Tati’s sardonic view of the bourgeoisie and his complex and multifaceted satire of modern life. Tati's singular and enduring achievement, Turvey concludes, was to translate the democratic ideals of the postwar avant-garde into mainstream film comedy, crafting a genuinely popular modernism. Richly illustrated with images from the director’s films, Play Time offers an illuminating and original understanding of Tati’s work.
