La Jetee
Grade: D 08/31/2009
My problem with this short film is that I wouldn't really consider it a film at all. It is a slideshow with narration. Sure, its somber sci-fi story is what inspired Terry Gilliam to make 12 MONKEYS...but if you can't comment on acting, directing, photography, or anything else....you can only comment on pictures. That isn't a movie...and it was a bit frustrating for me. The story? Neat enough....but there was no reason this short film couldn't have been filmed properly instead of just posting chronologically significant pictures
