Review of Sans Soleil (1983) by Martin T — 22 Jan 2010
What starts out as fascinating gradually becomes drop-dead boring. Some of the bits about Japan were very interesting, but everything collapses under the weight of the voice-over. I hate to use the word "pretentious", so I will try to put it a different way.
.. Marker is trying too hard to be "poetic". Every line seems like its trying to convey incredibly deep ideas, but few of them were thought-provoking. By the last half hour, I was really struggling to stay focused on it.
