Since its release in 1964, this legendary French film - which Marker described as a 'photo-novel' - has haunted generations of viewers and inspired writers, artists and film-makers. Its spiralling time-travel narrative has also influenced many other films, including the Terminator series\u003cbr\u003eand Terry Gilliam's Hollywood 'remake' Twelve Monkeys (1995). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut as Marker rarely gave interviews, little is really known about the origins of La Jet e or the ideas behind it. In this groundbreaking study, Chris Darke draws on rare archival material, including previously unpublished correspondence and production documents, to examine the making of the film. He explores how Marker's only fiction film was influenced both by his early work as a writer and by Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958), and considers how La Jet e's images can be seen to 'echo' throughout Marker's extraordinarily diverse oeuvre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844576425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.30w x 0.20d","brand":"Chris Darke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917405196469,"sku":"9781844576425","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_01d3604e-6847-45cb-b06e-f3e5be8980bc.jpg?v=1687284275","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/la-jete-9781844576425","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
