Book Reviews of La Jet?e: cin?-roman
Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful reprinting of the still images that make up the film La Jet?e. It also contains the English and French scripts in accompaniment. Unlike all the versions of the movie that I've seen, these images are clear and not washed out. Looking at the images in a book also allows you to really see the details and to pick out more information than watching the film.
If I had a complaint, it's that sometimes instead of printing a full page image, the authors (editors?) would to put multiple small images on a page. Sometimes it's used to good effect (showing "movement" buy letting you see a sequence all at once) and sometimes it just makes you squint.
Summary of La Jet?e: cin?-roman
La Jet?e (The Jetty), the legendary science fiction film was released in 1964 and is considered by many critics to be among the best experimental films ever made. Chris Marker, who is an undisputed master of the film essay, composed this post-Apocalypse story of memory and loss almost entirely of black-and-white still photographs. The story involves an experiment in recovering and changing the past through the action of memory, but the film can be read as a poem dominated by a single moving image, which by its context becomes one of the supreme moments in all film. This Zone edition reproduces the film's original images along with the script in both English and French.Performing Arts Books
