1956
Short Film

Director Chris Marker begins by recounting his childhood dream of visiting the city of Peking - a city he was once only able to admire in books. The viewer is taken on a journey through this city, as if experiencing it from the mind and through the eyes of Marker. His thoughts and observations about the traditions, history, and banalities of everyday life in Peking are woven together in elegant fashion. (rottentomatoes.com)

In this early work Marker has not yet developed his supersubjective hermeneutic style of creating images and dreamlike pseudophilosophical narratives, but rather he juxtaposes images from Peking in a decent and semi-interesting manner. With the classical music and the analogies he builds between revolution in China and Bastille, he seems not able of depicting or observing a non-western time and space without western signifiers.
