La Jetee – Where we’re going, where we’ve been.
Having only sent lifeless or insentient bodies through different zones of Time, the inventors where now concentrating on men given to very strong mental images. If they were able to conceive or dream another time, perhaps they would be able to live in it.
I will be brief because there are no doubt much better writeups and critques that address this classic film. La Jetee is a French science fiction film directed by Chris Marker. Released in 1962, it is constructed almost entirely of still photographs. Apart from some mutters in German, it features only the dialog of the narrator and a well composed+timed soundtrack.
The original French versions with subtitles is available on various bit torrent sites. It is not hard to find and I suggest you seek it out as it is much higher quality. I found it just as enjoyable to read the narrators text.
