Description

Chris Darke's exploration of Chris Marker’s La Jetée delves into the beauty and intricacy of this iconic 28-minute film. Primarily constructed with black-and-white still images, this unique work captures a haunting narrative that blends memory, love, and the passage of time. Darke articulates how these stills craft a poignant story about a post-apocalyptic future, offering readers a vivid understanding of Marker’s visionary style.

Through insightful analysis, Darke invites readers to reflect on the deep emotional resonance and themes of identity and existence that La Jetée evokes. This examination serves not only as a tribute to Marker’s genius but also as an encouragement to embrace the vivid imagery and powerful commentary on the human experience that his work encapsulates.
