Description
Chris Marker's La Jetée is a 28-minute film consisting almost entirely of black-and-white still images. Since its release in 1964, it has had a lasting impact on generations of viewers and artists.
This groundbreaking study by Chris Darke explores the making of La Jetée, drawing on rare archival material to examine the film's origins and influences. The book delves into how Marker's only fiction film was shaped by his early work as a writer and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, and considers the ways in which La Jetée's imagery echoes throughout Marker's diverse oeuvre.
Through this unique study, readers can gain insight into the making of a landmark film that has influenced many others, including the Terminator series and Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. By examining the archival material and production documents, Darke sheds new light on La Jetée's creation and its enduring significance in the world of cinema.
