It's a good place to start if you're new to Chris Marker's film-making. It introduces the viewer to his views on film, politics, people, memory, the past, present and future and the connection between them; subjects he returned to many times. It's short, engaging, thought-provoking and it stays in your memory long after viewing.
To me, Marker is one of the great film-makers.
Hitchcock fans will spot a reference to one of his favourite films.
