Chris Marker - Sans Soleil (1983)
tags:
Stumble ThisFrench filmmaker, Chris Marker (who directed La Jetee), directed Sans Soleil (Sunless) in 1983, stretching the genre of documentary, in this experimental essay-film.
Using a rich composition of thoughts, images and scenes, mainly from Japan and Guinea-Bissau, "two extreme poles of survival" are depicted. Some other scenes were filmed in Iceland, Paris, and San Francisco. A female narrator reads from letters supposedly sent to her by the (fictitious) cameraman Sandor Krasna.
Sans Soleil is often labeled as a documentary or travelogue, however it contains fictional elements and moves from one location to another without regard to a location-based narrative.
