Still no schedule for Jacques Tati's PLAYTIME (straight from the horse's mouth!).

Since I'm still eagerly awaiting the rerelease of PLAYTIME by Criterion, I decided to email them to see if any schedules have been set.

Here's what I wrote:

... and here's the latest word

Dear Richard,

We look forward to re-releasing PLAYTIME in the future, but we have no definite plans at this time.

Thanks for your mail and please feel free to contact me with any
future questions or concerns.

Best,
JM

Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait a bit longer!

No definite plans?? I think Criterion is probably rolling in the dough and are busy buying the rights to every film they can. They seem to be releasing more a month now.

That's a pretty standard response from Mulvaney. I'm expecting it early next year. I'd love to catch this theatrically but missed it when i played in LA last year.
