M Hulot owns. I wish Jacques Tati had made that last movie with Ron and Russell Mael from Sparks, especially since his movies kept getting better and better

There are also magazine interviews with Sparks at the time where they talk about how their next big project is making a movie with Tati, but I can't find them now. I'll look and see if I can pull some up. It's a shame Ron Mael never did movies because he has absolutely insane screen presence and comic timing in every video, live performance, and interview he's ever made.

Also the opening like half hour of Playtime with the glass office is weirdly very suspenseful for such goofy slapstick. Tati is an expert of deflating and then re-inflating tension into a scene

Only Tati would do a scene that's just sight gags with windshield wipers:
