La Jetée: Ciné-Roman (Zone Books)
Sinopsis :
La Jet&#233eis the book version of the legendary 1964
science fiction film about time and memory after a nuclear
apocalypse. Chris Marker, the undisputed master of the filmic
essay, composed the film almost entirely of still photographs.It
traces a desperate experiment by the few remaining survivors
of World War III to recover and change the past, and gain
access to the future, through the action of memory. A man is
chosen for his unique quality of having retained a single clear
image from prewar days: no more than an ambiguous memory
fragment from childhood &#8213a visit to the jetty at Orly
airport, the troubling glance of an unknown woman, the
crumpling body of a dying man.These elements become
crucial hinge-points in the ensuing narrative, thickening and
accumulating nuance with each successful expedition into the
historical past. The image of the woman, increasingly suffused
now with the time- and eros-bestowing capacities of a deep
but impossible love, provides the kernel for the recovery of the
dimension through which humankind and history will be saved,
as well as the tragic abyss into which both the hero and the

narrative inexorably fall. The story Marker tells &#8213a
stunning parable of our modern fate &#8213is about the death
of the world, about loss, memory, hope, and the indomitable
power of love. This edition reproduces the original
film&#8217images along with its accompanying text in both
English and French.
