So, there's this short documentary from 2002, called Beyond 'PlayTime', and it's kind of a deep dive into Jacques Tati's ambitious process for his 1967 film. It’s directed by someone unknown, but the real gem here is the archival footage – like, you rarely see this stuff anywhere else. The pacing feels reflective, almost like you're walking through the history of Tati's creative mind. Stéphane Goudet, who's quite the Tati scholar, weaves in insights that give you a real sense of the challenges and artistry behind the scenes. The documentary captures that unique blend of humor and social commentary, which Tati was so known for, without losing that slightly whimsical tone he had. A worthwhile watch for anyone interested in the intricate layers of film history.
