EDIT: found it thanks to LastTrainToNilbog, movie is “PlayTime”
Hey comrades, a few years ago I watched a movie but have totally blanked on all the details and need help finding it again. I think it was Italian. The main reason to watch it was that it included a ton of large-scale backgrounds with a shit ton of stuff happening outside of the ‘main scene’. I think it was from the 1960s or early 1970s. Lots of office shots. Anyone have any idea what the fuck I saw?
Bicycle Thieves is the only old Italian film I know, so it must be what you're looking for.
Not Bicycle Thieves, it was much more busy and less “real” if you catch my drift. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Definitely nope, it was for sure an Italian/maybe French movie and was definitely from the 60s/70s. If anyone reading this thread hasn’t seen this film, you need to drop what you’re doing and download it now
Not sci-fi and not romance (there may have been some romantic elements though). I think it was very “look how alienated we are”
What sort of movie was it? Was it more a comedy or a drama? Was it color or black and white? Was the setting period or contemporary? Was it more outdoors or more indoors? Were there action scenes? Was it subtitled? Was it a "good" movie, like something critics would like? Were there lots of overhead shots or was it more of a human height film?
Glad to help! Made an account because I thought that might be it. Great movie. I was lucky enough to see it on a huge screen about a decade ago. Top 5 theatre-going experience.
