Any recomendations simliar films to

This is a list thread !! see & think film: one flows back and forth from the narrative to the image and free associates thoughts in between.

Any others you know of ?

India Song
Carriage Trade
The Man With the Movie Camera

Is that it?

There’s always more from Marker. Marker worked with Alain Resnais on numerous films, and they share a close thematic bond (both focusing much of their work on memory).

Sui generis that film is.

A Valparaiso, directed by Joris Ivens, script by Marker, is a great little documentary on the city

Another short, Les Statues Meurent Aussi, Marker with Resnais, about African art and colonial attitudes. Le Mystere Koumiko by Marker is in Japan, like a lot of Sans Soleil, i imagine it was quite groundbreaking in the early 60s

Le Mystère Koumiko which has been mentioned by Kenji is indeed the closest to Sans Soleil there is and almost seems like a first version of the film, other similar films that have either been influenced by Marker or influenced him are Robinson in Space by Patrick Keiller, Manufactured Landscapes by Jennifer Baichwal and Berlin: Symphonie of a Big City by Walter Ruttmann, and I would also recommend you to check out Nikolaus Geyrhalter´s works.

I personally like The Koumiko Mystery as much as, if not more than Sans Soleil.

That must be a pretty god damned good film, Blue.

Well, Sans Soleil is probably the better film, but I just like the questions Marker raises in The Koumiko Mystery.

I’ll have to check it out. Sans Soleil is maybe the best film of the eighties I’ve seen, though.

I uploaded it on youtube and you can watch it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML6_cIjP8Uc at least until it gets a proper DVD-release.

Neat! Thanks, apursansar. I have something to watch tomorrow morning.

Maurice Pialat’s early short L’Amour Existe is well worth checking out.

Try Isidore Isou’s
Traité de bave et d’éternité

strange no one mentioned F for Fake!
