The Films of Chris Marker: An Introduction
Posted by Rodney Perkins at 12:50pm.
Posted in Film & DVD Reviews .
Many are familiar with Marker’s landmark film La Jetèe, a post-apocalyptic tale told through montage. Marker’s filmography, however, is quite diverse, covering twentieth century art, history, and politics. Marker’s films have had limited availability in the United States (Criterion’s edition of La Jetèe backed with San Soleil stands as the major release). On September 2, 2008, Icarus Films released four Region 1 DVD sets, at least one of which contains two discs, that represents large chunks of Marker’s filmography. These DVDs were previously only available through the Wexler Center for the Arts in Ohio. In response to this event, reviews of all 4 DVD sets are presented here in four separate articles. The length and level of detail provided in each piece varies depending on numerous factors, including overall length of the films, and the depth of supplementary materials.

it’s LA JETÉE, not La JETTÉ !
