Criterion Playtime by Jacques Tati - Back In Print 2006!!
Finally!! Here's the official word directly from the latest Criterion newsletter:
----------------------------
Last month, we received the following e-mail:
Dear Sir or Madam,
[Is there] any veracity to the reports circulating on the Internet that Criterion will be rereleasing Jacques Tati's Playtime in 2005, in a revised edition?
I was contemplating buying a $199 copy of the Tati film on an Internet auction, so I am hoping someone at Criterion might have some knowledge concerning this impending rerelease, or tell me if it is just a pipe dream of some cinephiles.
I am the proud owner of over eighty Criterion discs, all of which are most rewarding and entertaining, and would prefer to add your rerelease of Playtime to my collection, rather than some of the older DVD copies from other sources, which are proliferating on the Internet.
Thank you for any assistance you can give me about this Tati DVD!
Most sincerely,
Maura W.
We’ve received many such e-mails from fans wondering about the status of Tati’s astounding 1967 comedy, and we are happy to report that we are indeed planning to release a new edition of Playtime—either individually or as part of a Jacques Tati box set—sometime in 2006. Watch the Criterion website for details.

Very good, I've been looking forward to this one. A year ago I went to see a 70mm print of the film and it was amazing. I wish I had equipment like that at my house.

Was very excited when I read my CC newsletter, have had Hulot/Oncle for a while and have patiently been waiting for them to rerelease Playtime, never seen it and hope all the hype is true.
