Oh my god. Just finished watching this. It is a Complete Masterpiece. Jacques Tati has a stunning vision of the future — one filled with confusing useless technology, clueless businessmen, and disastrous restaurants turned bacchanalia. Every frame is bursting with life and humour, but it never dips into meanness. There's a genuine sense of warmth. I think I was smiling throughout the whole film, at least when I wasn't laughing. Can't praise this enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

every beautiful work of film is at the same time an expression of the artist's political critiques and their own freaky fantasies and this one's no exception, truly beautiful stuff

I'm not obsessed with it but it's always sweet when the barista does something cool. This one yesterday made me smile because after seeing a few others I realised the guy was doing Pokémon! Fairly certain mine is mew or Mewtwo, I saw him do a horsea, pikachu, and squirtle too...

Koudelka was a photographer who documented Europe from the 60s onwards, recording the lives of travelling people, Soviet invasions, struggles with poverty, and more. He later became a member of the Magnum society and continued his work into old age. If you have the time, it's really worth digging into his work as he had a real eye for striking images that provide a lot of context for the situation he was in. He used to travel with very little besides a sleeping bag and camera so he often experienced the harsher side of life while on the job. At times his photos were smuggled out of the soviet borders, and published anonymously, to keep him safe. Check the link for a good starting point on Magnum's website!
