Movie And A Beer Episode 142: La Jetée

On this episode of Movie And A Beer we had a special guest host with us to experience an amazing time traveling artistic masterpiece, La Jetée. Released in 1962 by French director Chris Marker it consists of almost entirely still black and white photos, and tells the stable time loop story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel. It is 28 minutes long but holds your attention through calming visuals and narration. The more recent movie and TV show 12 Monkies were both based off of this short film. 

We selected a couple of craft ciders to sip along with this great story, one was imported from France and the other was produced by Shilling Cider (WA). One of them really worked along with the film while the other, not so much. Give the episode a listen to hear more about this and the use of narrative in film!
