Chris Markers sublime review of the millennium so far.
His camera cuts across the streets of Paris, via the métro, via TV, via the internet. the trite of politicians, the noise of demonstration marches, the poignancy of funeral processions. via the subtle gaze of girls, and the mischievous gaze of M. Chat.
These cuts, put together, provide a document of the previous 4 years, it's roots to the past, and a glimpse of its future.
- to get the most out of this film it helps to know a bit about French current affairs. - note, out of interest, the many references to surrealists, and their cultural legacy.
