Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This is Marker's masterpiece.
– Jonathan Curiel,
San Francisco Chronicle,

rotten:
I find it tediously pretentious, but there are striking images in it, and it does get across a vague impression of Frankensteinian meddling with the brain.

The soundtrack's texture is similarly sparse, and the fluid montage leads the viewer into the sensation of watching moving images. Until, that is, an extraordinary epiphany when an image genuinely does move.
– Geoff Andrew,

fresh:
One of the best of all SF films is this haunting, apocalyptic 27-minute French short by the great Chris Marker.
