This film is a first-class avant-garde work today, let alone the 1960s. Appearing in and only possible during the New Wave era, Chris Mark presents a circular narrative caused by time travel in this film, which is composed entirely of still images, subverting the film from beginning to end The concept - go to his 24 frames per second art.
It is conceivable that the film caused considerable controversy among audiences at the time and even now, but in my opinion, still images are an excellent way to show dreams or memories - our memories are not originally PPT style. what?
This film had a great influence on the history of later films.
"Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives" and "Twelve Monkeys" both pay homage to/borrow from this film to varying degrees.
