When shooting the film, Jacques Tati initially chose to shoot real scenes in airports, supermarkets, etc., but it only lasted for a week before being forced to suspend work. Therefore, he invested 20 million francs to build a large-scale scene in 6 months on the 15,000 square meters of vacant land near Vincennes, including a power plant, a standard road with traffic lights, and two fully furnished high-rise glass buildings. Buildings, and a number of fake buildings built with scaffolding. The location was completed in March 1965, and filming began in April. In addition to the expensive set, he also insisted on shooting the film on a huge scale of 70mm film and five-track stereo. He believes that film is like a painter's canvas, and 70mm film allows him to better show modern architecture. Due to a budget shortage, funds were run out in the middle of the filming. In order to complete the plan, Tati continued to mortgage his property, including his mother's future inheritance, and finally borrowed money everywhere. Filming of the film was completed in October 1966. Since the release of the film at the box office failure, Tati himself declared breaking capacity

#112 I feel that this film is awesome, it is too sleepy, I am marveling at the symbolic meaning of the ultra-cold color, the group performance, the big scene scheduling, the exaggerated praise of the actors similar to the mime, the magical scene design and the metaphors everywhere After that, I finally fell asleep. I didn't know that it was a problem with the selected subtitles. Many dialogues did not have subtitles. It was really a frequent show. Off-line Mr. Yu Luo, this is serious funny

After watching it, I will feel moved, which shows that even if the whole film is filled with irony, it can still remain simple. The combination of the two is mind-boggling. Technically speaking, this film is simply unsurpassed. There are countless layers of images and sounds, overwhelming like an amusement park.
