The above images come from Chris Marker‘s film La Jetée. It tells the story of a future where an atomic war has taken place and the only way to make things better is to travel through time. It was a massive influence on the film Twelve Monkeys. I still haven’t seen this film, but I have spent a lot of time reading through the book which is available. It reminds of the scenes of the future from Terminator. Everybody has to live underground, where it is dark and claustrophobic. I like how everyone in the story has their eyes covered at some point apart from the girl.
