Review of Sans Soleil (1983) by Darrin N — 09 Feb 2009
Fully processing Marker's intellectual propositions here on the first viewing (well, to be honest, it's my first full viewing - I got about halfway through about a year ago) is more than one should ask of the beebee that rolls around in my cranial boxcar, but I did (I think) pick up on his broad strokes and those of his perhaps-invented lettrist, Sandor Krasna.
As a meditation on memory and how time modifies it, and on history and how cinema modifies that, I rolled with it and I liked it a lot; as an essay, it was much more cerebrally dense than that. I'll revisit Vertigo, do a little more supplemental reading, and come back to this one in a year or so.
It's one I look forward to understanding much better than I do so far.
