One of the greatest experiance how questions of self rises through understanding time and memory in this movie
In our film class we were required to see only the first couple of minutes of this for inspiration. But I literally couldn’t stop watching.
Artsy. A narrative made out of still images but full of magnetism caused by a great narration and a fine piece of score.
Very interesting! It's like terminator but artsy, and with a run time like this why no give this sci-fi classic a watch?
Very cool to watch this with 12 monkeys. Really liked the way they did this with the pictures and the narration very unique very cool.
Artistic, unconventional, a prime highlight of French New Wave.
it is strange, perhaps more interesting than enjoyable, but definitely worth a watch
Cinema masterpiece. Great short film. Unique ideas and unique cinema language, that’s what makes this film what it is. Highly recommended.
Interesting premise and it's use of (mostly) stills is innovative. Overall, unsettling in the best way possible.
A staple of film school, amazing the story that can be delivered in essentially a slide show
