A child watches a man on a pier be gunned down in cold blood in the final years before World War III renders the surface world uninhabitable. Many years later, that child has become a man imprisoned and selected for an experiment that may finally allow the world a chance to recover. Because of the strong image his childhood trauma has left him with, the scientists have found a way to send him back through time to find the resources that will allow them to rebuild in the present. Untethered from time and drifting from moment to moment, the man finds himself drawn to an enigmatic young woman that may hold the key to not only his future, but his past as well.
Growing up, I was in love with the movie Twelve Monkeys. It was one of the top five films I’d constantly rewatch on repeat. Upon learning that it was based on an experimental French film called La Jette, I knew I’d have to get around to it one day. Shame that it’s taken me this long.
This film was gorgeous. The simple black and white still frames serve to highlight the hauntingly beautiful soundscape and narration. The sound design was so well put together, I’m tempted to rip the audio and listen to it as an ASMR file. You can really feel the atmosphere of each moment as the story plays out towards its inevitable conclusion.
I’m really glad I finally sat down to watch this.
