this is just to say
that Jacques Tati's PLAYTIME is one of the greatest films ever made. I watched it for the third time last week and it nearly brought me to tears, for four reasons: a) it's so damn good; b) that this guy ruined his personal finances in order to realize his vision, which puts the risktaking that Will and I are doing in a certain perspective; c) I'll consider myself personally blessed by God if our little film manages to be a tenth as good as Tati's; d) it reminded me that filmmaking should be an act of joy, joy in creation, joy in collaboration, joy in celebrating what's good about life in the face of so much that's terrible and tragic. Thank you, JT.
