PLAYTIME is the coolest! Saw it twice in film school and I'm now looking for the DVD (if it exists).

The wide framing and multi-layered approach to events in the film make it a unique comedy experience. Little stories are unfolding all over the screen. Love the slick, anal retentative guy with the pen in the dept. store. Also, has one of the longest shots of a guy walking down a long hall towards the camera I've ever seen. I remember starting to crack up when I realized nothing was going to happen...I just had to wait until this guy slowly reached the foreground.

Gotta find that film.

Rich.
