La Jetee (in French, English subtitles from 16mm) pt.1

Back



Classic sci-fi that influenced many later directors and films. Hard to find- I did a poor job shooting this from a 16mm film which I can't borrow again, was unable to make the subtitles clearer- but i hope there is enjoyment anyway, YT has several dubbed-in English versions- one not too good (the narrator uses the phrase, "the head experimentater" making me think for all his perfect accent he is not a native english speaker- it hurts the solemn mood of the film when such comical gaffs occur, and holes in a really nice soundtrack to replace the narration- another dub is better done, tho the guy sounds like Keith Moon, quite cockney... and one is a student project with a re-dubbed soundtrack. This is the film as released on 16mm, retaining the original soundtrack, and with subtitles that are hard to read...but like most Americans I hate dubbing. Wanna hear the sound more as the director intended. So even tho its not a great copy, on this one you can hear it in French and read it in English...it has a cool soundtrack- I like to mic the films from near the projector so you get to hear the clacking and whirring. So if like me you understand v. little French but hate dubbing, you may like to see this version.

Hey Brother thanks for posting this and I (in my opinion) think Gilliam did it justice with 12 Monkeys thogh they capped his Budget I still think he did great.

I have made a new "silent" science fiction short based on the French films, la jetee and rendez-vous by claude lelouche. That film has no actors or dialog, but is exciting to see- La Jetee can b boring- so I combined these 2 films- if it works, we give lelouche a motivation for his...drive- and actors who never move but make a huge presence. and la jetee has sad and beautiful notions- a little colour, a car race and a a chance to live above ground help us to hope . eh?
