Movie 196/1001 ~ La Jetee

La Jetee is a 1962 french film. I called it a film, but virtually the entire movie is comprised of photographic stills. It is a science fiction movie about a man who as a child sees a man die which causes the image of a woman's face to become engrained in his memory. This image makes him an excellent candidate for post war experiments for time travel. The plot doesn't actually make sense, but the synopsis is fairly accurate. Even though the film is almost all stills, the narration is fairly engaging and the movie is only a half hour. I actually quite liked the one moment of actual cinematic movement.
