Henry W One of the greatest films ever made. Required Viewing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/23 Full Review Lequisha S There's a reason this is the paragon of essay films. Interesting that Marker chose to take up an anonymous role in his own film is crucial because it allows him to highlight the content of his musings and not the man behind them. It allows his thoughts to stand on their own merit. Him visiting the Vertigo locations in San Francisco was a treat. Beyond it just being interesting to see what things did end up getting altered since that movie's filming, the way that he connected the spirals of Hitchcock's films to the theme of time in his own was a satisfying moment. Quite a thought-provoking, compelling film he's offered. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/22 Full Review Audience Member Etrange, parfois intéressant, parfois simple collage sans queue ni tête. Souvent l'impression de coq à l'âne, souvent l'impression d'un journal intime. Aucune direction précise. Curiosité. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review s r 1001 movies to see before you die. This was a fascinating poetic film, on the experimental side. I really enjoyed the Japanese culture takes that I had not encountered and it made me want to visit there all the more. It was on youtube. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review William L Some seem to think this is a documentary. It uses nonfiction footage, sure, but it is entirely metaphysical musings rather than a chronology of some tangible event or phenomenon beyond the general principle of memory. Yes, it draws interesting conclusions on memory and incorporates interesting examples across shockingly disparate cultures, but it is not terribly cohesive. I'm sure many critics will pat themselves on the back after viewing this film, claiming some sort of incredible divine insight, but this is largely just an arthouse narration of interesting and candid home video footage, that allows audience members to draw whatever conclusions they would like from the subject matter. (2.5/5) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/20 Full Review Audience Member Poetic film, the most important and influential documentary essay ever. Impossibly beautiful, complex and personal. Chris Marker was a genuine thinker and artist. Must see one time in your life.
