la jetée

A 23" condensed remake of "La Jetée", the famous movie of Chris. Marker, where Chandra & Bertram play the same character, one in the past, the other one in the future (it's not clear who plays which one actually but that's the thrill of it). Much less boring than the original, cheaper than the previous remake - Terry Gilliam's 'Twelve Monkeys'. Note the sober but intense light and sound work by Ines at the camera. Shot on location in Alojera, la Gomera ; 50 meters from the jetty on the left, there is a super little restaurant with delicious chocos a la plancha and the traditional cortado leche leche.

backlighting - a dangerous decision!

This movie is WAY better than La Jetee and 12 Monkeys combined. I loved the part at the end, it brought me to tears.

d'où l'esthétique quelque peu roumaine/eighties de cette série - quand le MPEG4 des appareils photos numériques retrouve la qualité capricieuse du bon vieux super8 du siècle dernier.

ah mais la commune est de l'autre côté de la Gomera, à côté de San Sebastian - là c'est à Alojera...
