""La Jetee"" (The Jetty), the science fiction film was released in 1964 and is considered by many critics to be among the best experimental films ever made. Chris Marker composed this post-Apocalypse story of memory and loss almost entirely of black-and-white still photographs. The story involves an experiment in recovering and changing the past through the action of memory, but the film can be read as a poem dominated by a single moving image, which by its context becomes one of the supreme moments in all film. This Zone edition reproduces the film's original images along with the script in both English and French.

Reviews for La Jetée: ciné-roman

[La Jetee is] a remarkable short film about romance and postapocalyptic time travel...you can get a further sense of La Jetee's power in the photobook version...a superb job of preserving the sense of fragmentation, fragility, and stark visual beauty that has made La Jetee a classic. -Wired [La Jetee] evokes much of the film's impact, successfully conveying its lyrical, dreamlike quality and its message of hope and love. -Booklist
