Visions of the Past

I had never seen La Jetee before jswert submitted this one. The story is trippy as hell, and it's a fascinating piece of cinema. This is a great digest version of La Jetee (which is already pretty short, but you know what I'm saying).

Audio edits were a little rough, but a nice change of pace and a great story.

Creepy. The source material's still images and inappropriately calm narration really add to the atmosphere of this. Far removed from the whimsey of the DeLorean and the TARDIS, this method of time travel is unnerving. The plot is condensed very well - it didn't feel like much was missing here. Concise and tragic.

This is an amazing short. Ive never seen the original, and after watching this looked it up to find that its in the top 100 of TSPDT's greatest films of all time. I feel discussing the content would ruin it -- suffice to say the use of stills to tell the story completely works and thoroughly impressive. This is a cinema experience one shouldn't miss, and its only 15 mins! Countless future films (some pretty obvious) have been 'inspired' by or lifted from this, but the combination of story, narration and technique blends together perfectly here.

Perfect work jswert. Really great. Cheers, and thank you very much for making this...
