Chris Marker's La Jet�e is one of the most famous short films ever made and remarkable for several reasons, most obviously because Jet�e was the basis for Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. As in Monkeys Jet�e tells the tale of a prisoner (known in the film as "The Man") living in a post-apocalyptic world that's trying to save itself. He's sent by his captors back in time, a feat he's able to accomplish because he is tethered to a strong and chilling childhood memory. Once in the past The Man meets "The Woman" and they fall in love. But The Man is pulled back by his captors and propelled into the future, and we are propelled into the final moments of the film. But the most remarkable thing about La Jet�e is that almost the entire film is a series of still images (there is one indelible moment that is not--a languorous shot of The Woman opening her eyes). That a series of single images could coalesce into a film that is tense, sad, and fierce, is the real marvel of La Jet�e. (more)
