Movie Reviews of La Jetee/Sans Soleil (Criterion Collection)

Movie Review: Chris Marker's visions
Summary: 5 Stars

Chris Marker's short film La Jetee (1962) is a classic. It was later re-made by Terry Gilliam as 12 Monkeys, also a good movie but very different. The basic story is not entirely new to SF-readers: in a post atomic-war future some government (they speak german) make experiments in time travel. The protagonist manages to slip in and out of the past, before the war. It's better to see it than read the story - the strength of La Jetee is the imagery (still pictures) and the poetic feeling. Either you like it or you don't. This Criterion edition also includes Sans Soleil, a sort of travel film for the most part taking place in Japan. It's very unique, like a flow of images and narration that is almost hypnotizing. Some of the extras on the Criterion edition are just silly (the booklet and some pointless interview with filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin), and some is very good: I especially liked Luc Lagiers analysis of Hitchcock's Vertigo compared with La Jetee, fascinating!

Summary of La Jetee/Sans Soleil (Criterion Collection)

One of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made and a mind-bending free-form travelogue, La jet?e (The Jetty) and Sans soleil (Sunless) couldn't seem more different-yet they're the twin pillars of one of the most daring and uncompromising careers in cinema history. Chris Marker, filmmaker, poet, novelist, photographer, editor, and now videographer and digital multimedia artist, has been challenging moviegoers, philosophers, and himself for years with his complex queries about time, memory, and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. These two films-a tale of time travel told in still images and a journey to Africa and Japan-remain his best-loved and most widely seen.
