Le Jette

    As I  have stated before I am not a huge fan of French film and I usually find them boring. Whenever I need to watch a french film I am kind of skeptical. I am someone interested in history, so I was curious to see this film because of that. The film in general I did not find it interesting, but I am glad that I got the opportunity to see this film because it is important for the history of film. 

    I think that Le Jette deserves our time and all film lovers should watch it at least once. I was fascinated of how the film was made and how much it covered for such a short film with only 28 minutes. I like watching old films so this film being from 1962 and in black and white was another reason that made me to see it. This film is the most unique one that I have watched because of the way that it is filmed. I find very fascinating to see how the film is made entirely from still photos. I have never before watched such a film. Le Jette is like some sort of animation. 

    It was interesting to see the plot in the film without stars without dialog and without movement in general. I still do not know how to classify this film whether it is a documentary or something else. I had a hard time of understanding the story of the film without reading on the Internet of what was going on. Despite that, I like the themes that the film covered as sci-fi, war, post-apocalypse, time travel, love, confusion. This film is even more fascinating if we thing that it was made in 1962 and how it gives a disturbingly realistic feel of everything portrayed.
