Revisiting Pretty Little Liars in adulthood and watching giallo films for the first time around the same time as each other is my current obsession high

クリス・マルケル『ラ・ジュテ』

　20240220

クリス・マルケル 『ラ・ジュテ』（1962）を、Youtubeでフランス語版、日本語版を続けて視聴。スチール写真から再構成してナレーションをかぶせた映画かとおもっていたけど、いったんフィルムで通して撮影したのをスチール処理したものらしい。

通常どおり撮影したフィルムをストップモーション処理したスチル写真のモンタージュで構成され、シンプルかつ効果的なナレーションで語られる。

この映画における演出というのはどのように分析されるんだろうか。

　主演のダヴォス・アニク（Davos Hanich, 1922-1987） はいかにもフランス人というような顎の張りをしている。本業は画家・彫刻家だそうだ。パリのエコール・デ・ボザールでフェルナン・レジェに学び、助手にもなったらしい。この映画のときには、40歳というからアーティストとしてもそれなりな時期だったのでは。パリ19区ラ・ヴィレット門近くのマルセル・ムルディ広場（Square Marcel-Mouloudji）の噴水彫刻が彼の作品。ほかにロヌ・アルプ（Rhône-Alpes）地方オト・サヴォワ（Haute-Savoie）県のまちアラシュ・ラ・フラス（Arâches-la-Frasse）のフレヌスキー場（Station de sports d´hiver de Flaine）の駐車場での金属ワイヤーを用いた彫刻が代表作としてあげられるようだ。

　クリス・マルケルとは、第二次世界大戦の頃、スイスに亡命中に出会ったとのこと。レジスタンスの生き残りだった。

　主演女優のエレヌ・シャトラン（Hélène Châtelain, 1935-2020）は留学中の友人だったクレルに似ているなと思った。両親はロシアとウクライナの出身だそうだ。1960年代前半にアルマン・ガティ（Armand Gatti, 1924-2017）と出会って舞台女優としてのキャリアをスタートさせ、1973年から自分自身も映画監督として数多くのドキュメンタリーを手掛けたとのこと。また、そのルーツからロシア文学、文化の紹介にも努めた。

Favorite Shots From La Jetée

Some of my favorite shots from the film La Jetée. This film really showed me how black and white Images can show a lot of intention in a film, and can at times be more powerful than color. Personally, black and white evokes more feeling for me than color. This is my first time watching a film in still images, and it was an interesting experience because you are truly experiencing each image by themselves and not getting distracted.

Power of an Image

When I first began watching La Jetee, I felt gaps, breaks in my understanding of what was happening in the film. I found it initially difficult to become absorbed in cinema that felt choppy and seemed to halt with every new image. However, as I began to follow the storyline, I found that my mind could fill in the gaps where the images stopped and began again. I was reminded of a brain teaser that human brains can read any words as long as the first and last letter are in order—the letters in between can be completely out of order and the brain will still make sense if it. As I came to the close of this science fiction story, I considered two questions: would I classify this as a film? And did the still images allow me to focus more on the storyline? 

In Raymond Bellour’s The Film Stilled, he quotes cinema as “the system which reproduces movement as a function of any-instant-whatever; that is, a function of equidistant instants selected so as to create an impression of continuity.” Agreeing with this definition, I consider La Jetee to also be cinema, not only photography. While the film was only told in still images, I felt movement in them. At the end of La Jetee the pace of the images grows faster, there is strong continuity between the images. The moments before and after the protagonist's death feel seamless. All these signs point to cinema. 

The still images in La Jetee allowed my mind to focus more clearly on the storyline. Only having pictures allowed for an objective narrator to speak on behalf of all characters. Whereas in film the cinematography can stand on its own, in La Jetee I felt the story itself could stand alone as an essay. Here I saw the power of an image in this type of cinema; viewers such as myself are drawn in by the images, yet the lack of constant movement allows space for the mind to better absorb the narration.
