It's hilarious

The same buildings, the same streets, all the transparent glass, the same gray tones, the same clothes... the same society, the only difference between each city is the name... The two-hour film is too short to be noticed It's over. I admire the director for enlarging and zooming in on the seemingly boring and unnoticed details of life. The shots are very interesting and the shots are great, such as the scene from the two next door... The set lines are very interesting, such as opening desserts in the pharmacy Beer bar, so there are: go to the drugstore to buy a cup of coffee, such a bit of irony lines... so many highlights, the director is genius!

    Pleȝtíd! Brilliant placement and color grading, beautiful cities with industrial minimalism—despite the film's slightly negative reviews, it's still aspirational. The magical light effect is especially deliberately unrealistic when repairing electric lights and watching TV. A film that really has to be watched on the screen. It is too dizzying, full of details, distracting, and the attention often wanders between different scenes at the same moment. It really needs to be watched repeatedly. Wonderful group play scheduling in the magical real industrial world, as well as extremely sophisticated and complex sound! ! ! Burden at any time, but not hilarious, it is a series of smiles, elegant and delicate and mind-consuming comedy.

    9.5 masterpiece! Encounter a modernist hangover in a modernist glass fishbowl. The Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe are just phantom reflections on glass. Jacques Tati is like a middle-hung window, reflecting both sides of the commodity society. Resolutely break all narrative rules, the group play scheduling refreshes the audience's cognition, and the dazzling deep focus and sound effects fill all the gaps that allow you to think. The street lights in Paris were on, but not very bright.
