D’autres lecteurs ici ont posé la même question: Qui est Chris Marker? Nous non plus ne le savons pas. À mon avis existe-il pour la plupart dans son travail, un peu comme Montaigne. Nous, nous ne sommes pas CM, seulement des gens qui sont des fans loyaux de celui-ci. Pour trouver un peu de biographie, vous pouvez consulter cette page: http://www.chrismarker.org/2008/03/nyt-all-movie-guides-chris-marker-bio/
Peut-être votre famille a fait la connaissance de CM n’importe quand dans le passé? ou bien simplement ont admiré ses travaux cinématographiques, comme nous?

I’ve made this post a “page” also, so it’s easily available (on the left column under Pages) for repeated viewings. Comments can continue to be made here. Also, fyi there is a higher resolution version available at blip.tv.

Joyful. Moving. Magnificent. One of the most beautiful things that I saw these last years (the art became today so sad and sinister).

If “respect” is to leave everything alone, sit quietly in your room and make no trouble, to never make cultural references or détournements, then perhaps he “respects nothing”. For me, Marker shows an infinite degree of respect to the subject matters – small or large – that he engages with, including the art in this virtual gallery promenade that he morphs, mutates, crafts into new art. Beyond respect, there is that inimitable sense of humor at work throughout, a kind of playfulness of the child-master.

I believe that Ferragus joked, but you’re right: the senses of words are important.

Interesting. Problem of translation? An hijack of pictures is necessarily pejorative? Perhaps “use of pictures” would be better.

Marker hijacks nothing. He adds a sense of history and actuality to caltural icons (paintings) and “makes love” with his beloved music.

I have seen it again and again. Very good ideas. Never senseless. Sometimes, as a game to be solved. But what’s this magnificent music arousing a poignant effect ?
