LA JETÉE (1962) - ♦♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Chris Marker

Written by - Chris Marker

Starring - Héléne Chatelain, Davos Hanich, Jacques Ledoux

"Chris Marker’s most influential science fiction masterpiece is about a man in the future who travels through time and in the process ends up going through his life and examining the strange events surrounding his death. Captivating  and challenging in its mixture of simplicity with great creative depth. La Jetée is a unique and absolutely astonishing film which, with its 27 minute length, defies the conventionalities of filmmaking in general. Made with a succession of still photographs and off screen narration, this film is a wonderful piece of experimental filmmaking with an enigmatic and haunting storyline which branches out of its time travelling science fiction nature."
