i think this is the movie that's been haunting me since i saw it... i was 10 in 1983 so it fits... does the sun come out once in a lifetime, and a little girl gets locked inside a room and misses it?

I wish I could say it was, but its not. This is a documentary on similarities between Japanese and African Culture, and so many other things. The work you mention sounds alot like Ray Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day" which was redone in 1982 program called "Wonderworks" maybe this info will help you find the movie you speak of I hope.

Oops accidentally hit "remove" instead of "reply", youtube has to fix that! Anyway i'm glad that was the film, and i'm glad you found it :)

@midimaster Japanese and African culture couldn't be more opposite! Just like the opening scene with the girls then the fighter jet, very opposite. Japanese is one of the most sophisticated cultures, in design, food, technology, manners, etc. Africa is the least sophisticated culture, very little society etiquette and protocol , little in the ways of technology and advancement of inventions and most likely the lowest advancement in culinary arts and other arts. This movie is about contrasts

[midimaster]

@fantasticordinary : If you consider technological and culinary development :"advancement" then i guess you can say japan is more sophisticated. Most Ethnographic scholars would disagree, and say Africa and its many cultures is one of the most advanced societies today. Capitalism is not a judge of a country's success, cultural relations and longevity are, and Africa is light years ahead of most nations in that regard...

Marker's opening, with two opposite and contrasting images is the most powerful and jarring edit in the history of cinema.

Chris Marker! amazing artist! master, who also taught us to see how to make movies. Film all - are masterpieces. in Moscow was a festival. and Chris brought his new film, which has not yet been translated to watch on the big screen. and we looked at the hall on the computer. film took 6 hours. and we sat and hardly breathed. We want to hear and see every word and every frame. This work was new. all the delights that makes Chris! Thank you master.

I have this theory, I don't know if other people thought the same but did you notice how admiringly Chris Marker tried to show different cultures and trying to accept them/understand them. But some of the longer scenes ended in robotic/modern stressfull sounds getting higher and higher before the scene cuts. I think this movie is a warning about the end of culture, the streamlining of culture during globalization especially a warning about the unspoken western intollerance.

Great work!

Can this be any way related to Lynch films?

This intro up to the word black is probably the best intro i have ever seen. The Jet shocked me as it has nothing to do with happiness and then the rapid blackness gave me chills
