La Jetee

I've just watched the short sci- fi film, La Jetee, by director Chris Marker. I thought this was an interesting little film. You can really see did influence this film had on Terry Gillian's film 12 Monkey's, with some of the story being a direct copy. I thought that the film was very effective considering that it is comprised entirely of still images. I liked the concept of a film. The idea of a WW3 would have been highly plausible in 1962, and it must have been quite a unsettling film to watch back then. The photography was great, with some of the images capturing perfectly the dark, post-apocalyptic world of the future.
