I dislike most dramatic short films: superficial, pretentious with oh so clever twists. This is an exception. The stills presentation fits the dream like disorientation of the story and covers a lot of ground quickly. Mixing grand moments and intimate scenes it provides strong impact from tight constraints. Affecting and memorable.

The story is interesting, but the still pictures experiment doesn't really work, I'm afraid. Some of the photographs are very beautiful, though - it would have made a fantastic comic book. As a film, however, it is rather boring. But you know, I can imagine a talented director could use "La Jetée" as an inspiration for an extraordinary film. Preferrably starring Bruce Willis.

Forever linked with two bits of data: it's told entirely (except for about 4 seconds) in still images, and it's the inspiration for Gilliam's 12 Monkeys. I confess I was a bit less than impressed when I saw it about 7 years ago, now I'm more charmed by it. The still photography is a clever idea that makes it seem like a piece of history, a future archaeology. And the story is mysterious and engaging, with a kind of contemplative Resnais feel to it. Just the right length, too.

The story is fairly brilliant, something like a combination of Slaughterhouse Five and a dystopic sci-fi. The visual quality is really poor, though, not to mention the experimental film style, and it prevented me from being completely engaged by the film.

I thought the idea of a film using still images to be some kind of art bullshit gimmick. However the effect is quite profound. It taps into something about the nature of time, and memories. It feels something like you are watching memories, which ofcourse you are. Set all Twelve Monkeys comparisons aside, the simliarities are superficial. It's more of an art piece that a piece of entertainment, not something that I usually look for, but at 20 minutes running time I can deal with that.

The film is entirely still images with a narration, but those images are so effective that it still feels as if you're seeing the action, kind of like when reading a good book you form pictures of what you're reading. Marker gives you some amazing images and an interesting narration while your mind completes the picture for you, it was incredibly effective. The story itself was also quite creative and even though I should have seen it coming, the ending was very good and caught me by surprise.

If VERTIGO was the inaugurating moment when cinema began to reflect on the many-dimensional connections between memory, dream, desire and the mysteriousness of time, then LA JETÉE is the reinaugurating moment when this reflective constellation turns back on cinema (and VERTIGO) itself, at the same time propelling cinema forward and into what will be a sequence of great and fascinating films all of which spiral around each other, and the analysis of which remains as a work for the future.

Yet another great film about memories. The still image montage technique Marker uses here is appropriate to the point of genius. The plot is very clever and the "remembering = time travel" angle is cool, but personally I was more interested in the more earthly scenes with the main character and his dream woman. I'm all about those simple yet dreamlike pictures, and the beautiful, ghostly musical accompaniment.

Highly transfixing and disorienting experience that ambitiously deals with time and memory by emphasizing the control of time in photography & editing. You could view the whole thing as gimmicky but I was thoroughly engaged all the way. One of the very few time-travel films that's almost believable in depicting the actual experience of it. There is something inherently cinematic about our relationship to memory and time.

A slow sequence of images that is barely moving in the sense of constituting a moving image, yet a much more compelling viewing experience than most so-called films of 24 frames/sec (or more). Not to forget the haunting narration, sound effects and music. While it's likely this technique would make for tiresome viewing over a long period of time, it makes for an enthralling 30 minute viewing experience. Science fiction film making at its best. One feels time differently while watching this.

In this exceedingly beautiful film the origins of cinema as a theatrical form is inverted; photograph to photograph are displayed belying the cinematic nature of motion, deceptively destroying the incantation of matter. Time is imprisoned in vials of amber as the finality of each somber image sets its last course. If there ever was a filmmaker who thoroughly imbued the spirit of auteur theory in every facet it would be Marker. Words cannot even begin to express the anguish of this visual poetry.

I have eclectic taste. I like many foreign, independent films, and those with personal expression by directors who have the guts to make films they want and have no concern about business, producers or even the audience. However, as high as most members here rated it, it came across to me as pretentious and boring. I am not criticizing the director nor am I saying other peoples opinion here are wrong. Check it out because it is different and maybe I just didn't have the ability to appreciate it.

Haunting and beautiful at the same time. Telling the story with photos instead of moving images makes the experience more surreal, the viewer is kept at a distance and only short moments of time are understood, same as how the main character experiences his jumps through time. Great music as well.

Half hour short film. Very apparent that 12 monkeys stole this film's idea, but I wouldn't hold it against Gilliam: after all most films are a copy, more or less. Apart from the great plot, La Jetée has something unique (potential wake-up call for every so-so director): Marker proves (with ease) that the beauty of the cinema can be said in a simple mix of style and voice-over. A storyboard like this and you will never fail. Look for movement; it's there. Plot is everything. Composition likewise.

It's an interesting experiment in time-travel sophistry, which fails, from a logical perspective, seeing as it presupposes a man outliving himself. You may say that this isn't the point, but then I wonder what is. The pretty still pictures as a narrative device are *just that*, and well, take away the gimmickry and nothing much remains here. Atleast 12 Monkeys has drama.

First viewing. Time travel is always a tricky proposition, one that tends to be fighting an uphill battle to capture me. The twist is a bit tired as a modern viewer, although I'm fine with giving historical bonus points in context. The imagery is excellent, with the clip of the woman's eyes opening cutting through the still images with potency, buoyed by the accompanying sound design. "He remembers there were gardens" is a truly stunning line, further punched up by its nonchalant utterance.

Perhaps inevitably cowers in the shadow of the more ambitious 12 MONKEYS, but this is still an interesting, even more idiosyncratic version of the same material (and the underground dungeon screams Gilliam). Complete reliance on still images is an offbeat conceit that largely works well, giving a real sense of captured memories frozen in time; less successful are the exposition dumps about the nature of its world, because the scenario is never given opportunity to develop down that path.

What an amazing short film, especially when every part of it seems so wrong. There's a narrator with a very boring voice. There are still shots through the movie -- with almost no movement shown on the screen. The whole picture feels a little washed out. Add to that a pretty tired trope from science fiction. And yet, it's totally mesmerizing from start to finish.

I won't fault La Jetee too much for its unorthodox filming style, although I will say that it may have hindered certain storytelling aspects. What a fascinating and interesting plot, however: one that has survived much of science fiction culture and finds itself nestled in some of our favorite time travel flicks. La Jetee is no doubt an inspiration to many, and it's easy to see why. A thought-provoking short.

The way this film is told (using only still images, with music and voice overs) keeps being avant-garde even today. Based on that i guess we could say this is an experimental film, and it's a damn good one on that. The images may be still on this film, but Chris Marker still manages to make you feel emotions, and that is a great achievement. It's like this film came out from a different timeline, a timeline where movies are near perfection. If you haven't seen this yet, please do.

A great story that's eloquently narrated, far better written than its remake, Twelve Monkeys, but a film can't be considered truly great if it nearly functions without being one. A series of still images with only narration is definitively a slideshow, and although this format captures the test subject's fleeting moments of memories, it fails to convey the escapist moments of actual movement implied in the fantasies of the past. The Pier's narrative style is more often to its detriment than not.

an utterly fascinating work of science fiction, about memory and its various levels of concretisation. the seminal moment of the film, a brief few seconds of movement, appears to me to be the the highest level, where reality and memory have all but merged. extremely self-contained and not really a flaw to be found, though i do wonder how high a rating this could be given considering it is only what it is, or something. but it's totally mesmerising.

The film being made up almost entirely of still images is most definitely not a simple gimmick but is essential to the film's effect as it both makes what you see seem either like something out of a memory or seem disorientating depending on the context of the scene. Beats out the later adaptation of La Jetee, Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys, with Marker's film being more ambitious, audacious, beautiful, captivating, thought-provoking and dreamlike.

Really beautiful story, shot beautifully too. The one moment of live-action is breath-taking.

La Jetée as a movie is one of the most interesting I've encountered. Virtually the whole movie involves narrating still shots. While this sounds like a glorified slideshow, its anything but. The pacing is magnificent. The mood created is truly immersive. In a truly astounding feat, Marker traps the viewer in this "slide show" mentality, and then, as the movie is discussing whether the character can decipher what's real or not, he pulls the run out from under us.

You can clearly see how this haunting featurette inspired 12 Monkeys.

Although I found it very difficult to get used to the slide-show style of the film, I must admit that in terms of executing the story, the filmmakers did a very respectable amount with very little. A fascinating precursor to 12 Monkeys that any fan of that movie should check out.

Pretty successful story with just photos, music and a voiceover. The narrative was also good with nice ending.

What little drama is present is overshadowed and then buried beneath a gimmicky premise and a wonky time travel narrative that I personally didn't find all that interesting. I still found this more imaginative and emotional than 12 Monkeys, though. I particularly enjoyed the imagery and the voice over narration.

Probably my favorite short ever, and not just because it was what 12 Monkeys was based on. The style is very unique as it's just photos with music and a voice-over instead of the normal moving cinema. Hearing that you'd think it might detach the viewer, but it's actually incredibly compelling.

There were some issues with the copy I watched, I'll probably buy the Criterion La Jetee/Sans Soleil anyway. As for now, I liked it but was not blown away. To be fair I had pretty huge expectations, we'll see how it fares on a rewatch.
