LaJetee is a short film composed of still black and white images being shown in a slideshow format while a narrative is being told. The imagery is so stark, both verbal and on screen, that one can imagine movement and action even though none is literally taking place.

The movie "12 monkeys" is a tribute to this subtle award winning gem.

If you like this film try 'Sans Soleil' by the same director. It's my favourite documentary and many of the themes of 'La Jetee' are revisited (time travel, memory, the relationship between narrative and image) Its a remarkable and beautiful film.
