Playtime

Directed by Isaac Julien

With Mercedes Cabral, Maggie Cheung Man-yuk, James Franco and Ingvar E. Sigurðsson

Playtime’s cosmopolitan spectacle, presented in a kaleidoscopic montage across seven large screens, interconnects the lives of its archetypical characters—hedge fund managers and art world players in London; a photographer in Reykjavik; and a Filipina houseworker in Dubai—each of whom is based on a real-life individual directly affected by the market collapse.
