La jetée (1962)
A timeless work of art
La Jetee is the best kind of film, the kind that makes you remember why you fell in love with movies in the first place. Hauntingly beautiful, eerie beyond belief yet sincere and fragile, every scene is a masterpiece. The sequence when the woman is in bed and her eyes blink is one of my personal favorites. Between the music and the daylight scenes at the museum when you are taken out of the experimenter's room, it is easy to forget this movie is post-apocalyptic. There is nothing I find scary, in part because it is so well crafted and has to be the most meticulous 27 minutes ever put on film. Chris Marker may not be well known but La Jetee will always deserve a spot among the best in cinema.
Youth Without Youth (2007)
Brilliantly weird
"This film is extremely weird yet at the same time absolutely brilliant. I love how it feels like an old movie from the music to the opening credits. Some of the storyline is hard to follow as it skips around, but I found myself enjoying it quite a bit. It is one of those films that you have to sleep on to find the brilliance in it. I'm guessing most people will see it and ask themselves what they just saw, but the next day I think you'll get it. Francis Ford Coppola still proves to be on top of his game, and Tim Roth who I haven't seen in anything else is good but not superb. Overall 7 stars out of 10. The supporting cast is good as well".
