La Jetée: BFI Film Classics

Autor Chris Darke
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iul 2016
Chris Marker's La Jetée is 28 minutes long and almost entirely made up of black-and-white still images. Since its release in 1964, the film - which Marker described as a 'photo-novel' - has haunted generations of viewers and inspired writers, artists and film-makers. Its spiralling narrative of post-nuclear war time-travel narrative has influenced many other films, including the Terminator series and Terry Gilliam's Hollywood 'remake' Twelve Monkeys (1995).But as Marker rarely gave interviews, little is really known about the origins of La Jetée or the ideas behind it. In this groundbreaking study, Chris Darke draws on rare archival material, including previously unpublished correspondence and production documents, to examine the making of the film. He explores how Marker's only fiction film was influenced both by his early work as a writer and by Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958), and considers how La Jetée's imagery can be seen to 'echo' throughout Marker's extraordinarily diverse oeuvre.

Recenzii

Darke was a good choice to write this. ... his work to the book and puts La Jetée in context, both in terms of Marker, but also French cinema and culture of the time. He also brings a wealth of new information and insights that make this book a revelation, even to those of us who thought we had become familiar with the film. ... is an amazing piece of work that has stood the test of time ...
