"embankment"

"This is the story of a man's memory of an image from his childhood, the violent scene that upset him, the meaning of which he would not understand until years later. This scene took place at the main pier of Orly Airport in Paris. On. Before the outbreak of the Third World War."

Hundreds of images and voiceovers make up this tale of reality and illusion, a fateful tale of seeing one's own death.

One of the scenes is that the woman blinks a few times after she wakes up from sleep. The only continuous shot is amazingly beautiful. It comes from the shocking beauty after visual habit.

La Jetée quotes

  • Narrator: [referring to The Woman's face] That face he had seen was to be the only peacetime image to survive the war. Had he really seen it? Or had he invented that tender moment to prop up the madness to come?

  • Narrator: He recited his lesson: because humanity had survived, it could not refuse to its own past the means of its survival. This sophism was taken for Fate in disguise.
