It’s a beautiful piece of art. It represents a distortion of reality.
Chris Marker uses simple techniques to create tension. The changes of
the sound represent agony.
The expression of the faces are very dramatic and powerful. It
characterizes movement and action as well as describes the
characteristics of the actors. In minute 9:44, the angles of the photos
are very dramatic, it represents the agony from different points of
view. The juxtaposition denotes tension between scenes.
I love this short movie. It was made in 1966, but it is still an
inspiration. It uses very simple concepts in cinematography, but the
results are a unique collection of feelings and expressions. It
inspires my work by helping me simplify ideas in the moment of
development. This movie is talking about time travel but uses the
simplest way of describing future.
