Chris Marker: La Jetee
A Culture, Nonfiction, Film book. I first saw this film when it aired one night on TCM. I was immediately captivated. Not only was it...
Chris Marker's legendary -cine roman- (-film novel-) La Jetee is considered one of the greatest and most influential experimental films of all time. This short film--a postapocalyptic story composed almost entirely of black-and-white still photographs -- has been praised by cultural theorists and Netflix subscribers alike. In this illustrated study of La Jetee, Janet Harbord focuses in part on the film's treatment of time -- its shifts from a pre-war past to a projected future a further future of the future (each with its own signature images and sound) -- arguing that in this way it addresses the nature of consciousness and the simultaneity of time-frames that we inhabit. Harbord moves easily from a close reading of the film to discussions of broader cultural issues, lucidly piecing together the enigma that is La Jetee.

One thing which you get in the film that you wouldn't get from the book is that among the slide-presentation of pictures which make up the visual element...
