La Jetee / Sans Soleil [Non-US Format, PAL, Region 2, Import]
In 'La Jetee', which is told almost entirely in stills, the viewer is taken on the journey of a man who is travelling from the future back to his childhood. 'Sans Soleil' is an audio-visual mix of footage filmed in Africa, Japan, Iceland, France and the USA. The result is a study of the 'dreams of the human race' which looks at the banal, the exotic and the popular culture of classic movies and video games, and contrasts these images with the forgotten misery of the Third World.
