La Jetée (1962) IMBd - 8.3/10 stars Director - Chris Marker Stars - Etienne Becker, Jean Negroni, Helene Chatelain Production Company - Argos Films “This is the story of a man marked by an image from his childhood.” That’s the narrated opening of Chris Marker’s film. The hero will travel in time toward that childhood image, the destruction of cities and the devastation of the earth’s surface have threatened the very reality of the present and have thus let loose temporal virtualities normally locked up or held captive in the past (the past consisting only of a series of images that have become autonomous, tied to the living only by some affect or trauma).
