Chris Marker - La Jetée (Engl. narrator) part 3/3

Chris Markers still powerful 1962 post-apocalyptic short film, with its classic anagnorisis finale. Produced entirely with still photographs, music and voice-over narration, it portrays a horrifying future world and the melancholic vision of a man consumed with nostalgic love for a dead woman he saw as child. Becoming the subject of the subterranean totalitarian governments attempt to throw emissaries into time, to call past and future to the rescue of the present, he just might have a chance to see her once again.

Don't know the name of the piece but Saint Alexander Nevsky Cathedral choir is performing it.

Perhaps the allegory of it all, is that you really can't tamper time, it's indelible, it's permanent - both infinite yet definite. Great film! A great fusion of philosophy and science.
