La Jetee

After getting an email from a reader last week (thx, david), I poked around a little and found the cult French film La Jetée on Google Video:

The above contains the English voiceover by which some purists cannot abide, but I couldn't find the version with English subtitles, so this will have to do. (The original French version is available.) Some notes on the film:

  • It was made in 1962 by Chris Marker and is only 28 minutes long.
  • La Jetée is regularly included on all-time best-of lists.
  • The film has no dialogue and is almost entirely comprised of still photography.
  • Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys was based in part on La Jetée.

I wish I could find the subtitled version. The editing in the version with the French narration is amazing and it's a little off in English.
