Leaburn O @RT35452347 02/04/2025 A time portal to the early 80s and the culture in various countries, particularly Japan. Damn Tim’s were simpler then. Enjoyed viewing for anyone with a passing interest in anthropology. Watched on DVD. See more Henry W @HenryWarwick 06/06/2023 One of the greatest films ever made. Required Viewing.

Interesting that Marker chose to take up an anonymous role in his own film is crucial because it allows him to highlight the content of his musings and not the man behind them. It allows his thoughts to stand on their own merit. Him visiting the Vertigo locations in San Francisco was a treat. Beyond it just being interesting to see what things did end up getting altered since that movie's filming, the way that he connected the spirals of Hitchcock's films to the theme of time in his own was a satisfying moment. Quite a thought-provoking, compelling film he's offered. See more Stéphane O @Stefffent 12/17/2021 Etrange, parfois intéressant, parfois simple collage sans queue ni tête. Souvent l'impression de coq à l'âne, souvent l'impression d'un journal intime. Aucune direction précise. Curiosité. See more s r @ScottR 10/05/2021 1001 movies to see before you die. This was a fascinating poetic film, on the experimental side. I really enjoyed the Japanese culture takes that I had not encountered and it made me want to visit there all the more. It was on youtube. See more William L @RT77267842 03/31/2020 Some seem to think this is a documentary. It uses nonfiction footage, sure, but it is entirely metaphysical musings rather than a chronology of some tangible event or phenomenon beyond the general principle of memory. Yes, it draws interesting conclusions on memory and incorporates interesting examples across shockingly disparate cultures, but it is not terribly cohesive. I'm sure many critics will pat themselves on the back after viewing this film, claiming some sort of incredible divine insight, but this is largely just an arthouse narration of interesting and candid home video footage, that allows audience members to draw whatever conclusions they would like from the subject matter.
