La Jetee 1962

I'd heard of this short 26-minute film but had forgotten about it until I stumbled upon it on my new favorite site, smashing telly. It's a photo-roman, completely made with still bw photographs and a voice over. I think the quality of the writing (script here) and just the way people spoke then (it was made in 1962) made it somehow acceptable. Supposedly this was the inspiration for Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys.
