WWMM Special! Chris Marker's La Jetee


Even though the next movie screening is not for about two weeks, thanks to the wonderful internet everyone can watch from the comfort of their own home, or desk, or bed (how ever you do it). The movie below is a 1962 film by respected director Chris Marker. What separates this movie from the others is the technique Marker uses to communicate the post-nuclear/ time travel experimental story. The movie is comprised mostly of still photographs, each beautiful and without dialogue (besides some whispers of German). There is only one live action shot, can you spot it?

This movie is really worth watching so turn off the distractions, get a snack and enjoy this short but sweet movie!
