VHS Movie Reviews of La Jetee
Movie Review: Criterion will release a new restored version in June 2007!
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of you La Jetee fans out there, good news: Criterion has announced a restored re-issue of the film, in co-operation with director Chris Marker. The DVD will feature both French and English voice-over versions. Worth waiting for!
Summary of La Jetee
Director Chris Marker was a determined experimentalist who still sought to entertain, so it's no surprise that his most famous film, La Jet?e, is both bizarre and compelling. Shot as a collage of still images, it tells the story of a man sent backward and forward in time in order to save a war-ravaged world. Packing all of the intensity of a full-length feature into 28?minutes, this densely layered narrative stands up to many repeat viewings. Every moment is fraught with anxiety, longing, and suspense as the unnamed protagonist moves through and across time, trying to avoid death at the hands of his contemporaries, the repeated loss of a past love, and the annihilation of his world in the future. Much more a human story than a science fiction film, it is essentially about the power of memory, and its snapshot format captures the feel of a strongly remembered moment. This film is definitely a masterpiece and is not to be missed by the serious cineaste. (The American film 12?Monkeys was adapted from La Jet?e, though the original is no doubt the superior piece of cinema.) --James DiGiovannaArt House & International VHS Video
