- Quotes
Chris Marker: [narrating] In this kind of shooting, the first pitfall to avoid is appropriating a beauty that does not belong to us - to play up the lovely, backlit shot. Of course, some of that borrowed beauty will come through anyway, but we shall try to show what we see the way we see it, from *our* eye-level.

Featured review
There are better and there are worse ways to spend 75 minutes
It's more artsy and potentially interesting than the average making-of documentary- to the point where it's hard to call it a making-of documentary- but it is a little dull at times, even with the short length.
Still, not bad- just wish Werner Herzog had directed it, as I feel he's better at these sorts of quirky, fly on the wall, occasionally weird, sort of artsy and psychological documentaries/ character studies.
Does tell me I need to watch Ran again though- it's been about eight years. And while 17-year-old me appreciated it, 25-year-old me would probably be able to watch it without feeling bored.
