The best April Fool gags aren’t the ones that merely imagine something unusual or surprising, but those that realise it. Such is the case with the latest from Swiss duo Mario von Rickenbach and Michael Frei, aka Playables. Deliberately riffing on 2019’s (“these asset flips nowadays…”, Von Rickenbach wryly tweeted), the switch from humans to cars gives it a disarmingly distinct feel.uses its brief runtime not to make overt judgements, its playful vignettes instead open to many different interpretations. But, as the screen becomes filled with noisy traffic, it’s hard not to think about society’s overreliance on the automobile.
