Ben, you will love La Jetee. It’s the Vertigo of sci-fi movies.

Suzi, it’s only going to get worse. Godard is 81. Rivette and Varda are both 84. Resnais is 90. Cinema bloggers better start brushing up on their obituary writing skills.

I have always liked him and Varda the best out of the NW. And, he was also a cat lover!

I rented La Jetee from Blockbuster and remember being floored by his use of photographs. I later went back and rented Sans Soleil and he became one of my favorite filmmakers. 13 years later, he’s not on that list of “favorites” anymore but he will go down as the man who defined the “essay” film.
