"La Jette" on La Jette

I enjoyed Chris Marker's "La Jette" immensely! Although the film was marked by only a slide screen of screen shots, it was still quite mesmerizing to me. I was impressed by the plot, the director's use of the screen shots and the music itself. Even though the film would have made an even larger impression had the music been incorporated, "La Jette" remained rather stunning. The rolling of the screen images felt so familiar to the passing of memories within my own mind. At times, I could not help, but fathom at the perplexing familiarity of the images. I was, without a doubt, intrigued by the many manifestations this film undertakes. This was by far the most thought provoking film that I have watched thus far this semester. However, the rolling film shots was essentially a slide show of pictures that in itself could instill such fervor of feelings for me. "La Jette:" is a film of epic proportion for sure. Each of the images between the woman and the man were intimate to the point that I was in awe of the ability for a slide show of images to create such awe. This film was an intoxication of fascination and wonder.
