La Jetee (1962)

This is for the hardcore film nerds ONLY. La Jetee (1962) is one of my favorite short films of all time. Directed by Chris Marker, this short inspired the 1995 film 12 Monkeys directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. Constructed almost entirely from still photos, it tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel. This short, in a way, was ahead of it's time. I hope you appreciate it.
