yeah that's exactly how I took it, but I still feel I should watch it again.

Part documentary, part travelogue, part found footage essay, Chris Marker's free form meditation on time and memory is at turns frustrating fascinating, seemingly aimless and yet endlessly engrossing. A kind of experimental form of cinematic poetry, SANS SOLEIL is a wholly unique experience.

I only date people who like Sans-Soleil and listen to Throbbing Gristle.

I didn't finish watching this because I was half asleep but from what I saw it was beautiful and a very avant-garde documentary of sorts. the music/sounds made it eccentric and more interesting. I will have to give this another go when I'm more awake but I learned a few things and was swept away all at once.

Stunning.... philosophical, intelligent and engrossing; both an eye-opening travelogue and a universal portrait of human existence.

and it's men's role to make them realize it as late as possible... sadly often true.

I've downloaded several copies of this film, and each of them have a woman speaking in ENGLISH narrating the film. Is this a dubbed version? It's listed as a French film, and I only want to watch it in it's original context - would that be with french narration and english subtitles?

I suggest watching in English. Although I never watch films with subs rather than dubs, there's really no point in this particular situation. Alexandra Stewart gives just as good a performance as Florence Delay.

"The train inhabited by sleeping people puts together all the fragments of dreams, makes a single film of them—the ultimate film. The tickets from the automatic dispenser grant admission to the show."

"He wrote me: I will have spent my life trying to understand the function of remembering, which is not the opposite of forgetting, but rather its lining. We do not remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. How can one remember thirst?"

"I see her, she saw me, she knows that I see her, she drops me her glance, but just at an angle where it is still possible to act as though it was not addressed to me, and at the end the real glance, straightforward, that lasted a twenty-fourth of a second, the length of a film frame…Frankly, have you ever heard of anything stupider than to say to people as they teach in film schools, not to look at the camera?"

"Who said that time heals all wounds? It would be better to say that time heals everything - except wounds. With time, the hurt of separation loses its real limits. With time, the desired body will soon disappear, and if the desiring body has already ceased to exist for the other, then what remains is a wound, disembodied. "

It's unfortunate to see that there are a few here who are weary of ostentation. Surely we haven't reached the point in film culture at which philosophy has become pretentious? Let me remind you that something can only be pretentious if it is feigned. Since when has it been frowned upon for one to cultivate an ideology and to share it in a film? Somebody, please enlighten me.

The images, sounds and words *are* all connected, but they didn't even have to be.
