    The understanding of time and memory is quite deep and convincing. After reading it, I am looking forward to revisiting Vertigo next...

    I didn't understand what the narrator's female voice was grumbling about, but what impressed me most was the Japanese sex culture. There are a lot of phallic artworks in it, like the props of "A Clockwork...

    Prose films, fragmented images, female voices. The camera follows the pace and line of sight, and the film connects the closeness of time and space, peeping, exploring, and telling life and death between mottled memories and quiet daily life. Traveling across different borders, recording the world, covered with time moss, with thousands of thoughts. There is a strong breath of life, and the images belong to others and are completely personal. Obscure, secret, romantic, but also vicissitudes of...

    #FrançaisCenter# A movie with a lot of information, Mark arranged some fragments of the city's daily life like poetry. The ink point is placed in Tokyo, and a few other places are slightly involved, but I admire Mark's ability to keenly discover the inner connection under certain appearances, so that people don't feel that the material is escaping and messy. Next time prepare a small book for two...

    It’s so beautiful. It’s not the beauty of beauty, but the long stretch of image recording. It’s the additional energy generated by conspiring with language. It’s the loose and rich thoughts themselves. It belongs to the swaying brain waves of the golden hour after turning off the lights before falling...

    Godard didn't end the history of cinema, Chris Marker really did. Among all works involving memory, only his epoch-making "Sun and Moon Without Light" has completed the dissolution of the subject. Who is the voice of the narrative? Where is the guy who wrote the letter now? This incorporeal voice becomes a ghostly being, wandering in national, political, human, cinematic memory, pointedly pointing out the impossibility of objective recall. The film's reappearance of the past scenes is like the...

Sans Soleil quotes

  • Narrator: As for the students, some massacred each other in the mountains in the name of revolutionary purity, while others had studied capitalism so thoroughly to fight it that they now provide it with its best executives.

  • [first lines]

    Narrator: The first image he told me about was of three children on a road in Iceland in 1965. He said that for him that it was the image of happiness and also that he had tried several times to link it to other images. But, it never worked. He wrote me, "One day I'll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black leader. If they don't see happiness in the picture, at least they'll see the black."
