Images and script (in both French and English) from one of the
greatest experimental films ever made by a master of the form.
"This book version of La Jetee is, to my mind, astonishingly
beautiful. It brings a total freshness to the work and a new way to
use photos to deal with dramatic events. Not a film's book, but a
book in its own right; the real cine-roman announced in the film's
credits."; Chris Marker La Jetee, the legendary science fiction
film about time and memory after a nuclear apocalypse, was released
in 1964 and is considered by many critics to be among the greatest
experimental films ever made. (It provided the basis for Terry
Gilliam's 1995 film 12 Monkeys.) Chris Marker, who is the
undisputed master of the film essay, composed this postapocalyptic
story almost entirely of black-and-white still photographs. The
story concerns an experiment in recovering and changing the past
through the action of memory, yet the film can be read as a poem
dominated by a single moving image, which in its context becomes
one of the supreme moments in the history of film. This Zone Books
edition reproduces the film's original images along with the script
in both English and French.
