La Jetee

Its one of those movies I can write a book about. Alas I dont have enough time. In a nutshell, I can say this, if you havent seen this movie, you have missed on a novel experiment to film making.

The whole film consists just of a set of still B/W shots. Shots which convey a lot. Within shots there are dialogues, phrases i would remember forever,such as

"Nothing sorts out memories from ordinary moments. Later on they do claim remembrance when they show their scars."

"summon the Past and Future to the aid of the Present."
"To wake up in another age meant to be born again as an adult."
"Time rolls back again, the moment returns."
"Time builds itself painlessly around them, their only landmarks are the flavor
of the moment they are living"

The story too innovative, it revolves around time travel but is rather a sarcasm than a Sci-fi. This is novelty at its best. Try this movie for sure.

Overall 8.5/10
