Playtime

Bonjour petals, have I ever told you about my love for Jacques Tati? yes I know I have but, I got this t-shirt and another (which I am sure I will share too) for Christmas and I love it, thought I would go the whole Tati hog with half mast trousers vintage £6! and blazer, which is part of a suit I got yonks ago on eBay but with Mr T. Gold, you would not believe the looks I got because of my white socks you would think I was wearing scuba flippers. Does it ever bother you people staring at you because you dress different to the 'norm'?

There is just something about Tati's work that gets me right to the core, its sweet and innocent yes but Tati's observant view on modernity and how we isolate ourselves from people the more advanced we get as a society is so spot on. As well as how easy it is to misunderstand a situation and people and the fact that he didn't need words to convey so many things, is just so inspiring to me, Playtime has to be one of my all time favourite films.  Every shot of his work is like a piece of art so much has gone into it. But now for the funny faces;

    Playtime is one of my favorite movies TOO!!!! That movie is a constant source of inspiration for me as well. So cool to see you writing about it. I also want to see that necklace you're wearing up close. It looks really cool.

    Oh I love Tati too! My favourite movie would be 'Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot', it's so charming, innocent and very amusing! 'Playtime' is brilliant as well, the attention to detail is just amazing, and the fact that Tati built a small city (Tativille) outside Paris to film this movie is just beyond belief, isn't it!

      Yay another Tati fan! I love Les Vacances too, the music is fabulous. It is such an indication of the kind of artist he was that he created his own world for a film, would of love to of met him!

    Wouldn't it be wonderful if they hadn't torn it down and you could go wonder about there! I loved Playtime and will need to check out more Tati, I have too many things on my to-watch list! You look cool, if I passed you in the street I would look at you with a smile that said so :) I got loads of glares today for I was wearing my faux fur wolf hat with ears and for some reason this makes people look at me like I am mad! I was warm and cute, so it's ok! :) x

    Tati is one of my favorites movie directors ever! I can't remember how many times I have already watched "Mon Oncle". He is just wonderful! When I watched "Playtime" my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing, the image, the details, everything! I'm glad you like him too :)

    Oh, and I'm also loving your pretty outfit! The shoes are perfect!
