The La Jetée Connection...


...Is not noticeable. This film has none of the essential emotional weight that makes the Chris Marker film memorable. It is, instead, a rant against contemporary political... deterioration and the apparent onrushing dystopia it seems to portend.

Most of the film is narrated footage of events from the last two-three decades, interspersed with the grim day-to-day life of a woman in 2073. It isn't bad as an earnest social diatribe, but it isn't anything more.

the 1995 film 12 Monkeys with Bruce Wills, Brad Pitt And Madliene Stowe has La Jatee connection as well it influenced it.

Heck, it's a straight up adaptation. And, aside from the lack of chemistry between Willis and Stowe, it's great.
