I agree with you that Chris Marker's works are definitely in the same league as those of Syberberg and of Welles.Jugu Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168705724665556320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33415680.post-42132515930230479252011-11-01T23:15:40.785+05:302011-11-01T23:15:40.785+05:30I agree with you that this film is just superb.
