Personification As Compass In La Jetée 1962 (released 1964) by Chris Marker.

Personification as Compass In La Jetée 1962 (released 1964) by Chris Marker. Offscreen flying planes. A Lied choir sings. Zoom out on a still photo of Orly Airport. Intertitles. A narrator reads: This is the story of a man, marked by an image of his childhood. To You I am a Question Mark. Quo Vadis? This is where I part ways with You. I am forever marked by You, My parent Chris Marker who weaned Me through my infancy. My image is marked with Your assumptions of criticism and analysis. Yet I am about to land on the jetty of Orly to seek My inexperienced experience. In My need to uncover My story, I, as La Jetée, freeze in My tracks within a busy airport. I am of a stilted nature. Where do I begin as a Multiple Subject? Do I not subtract images ‘without diminishing,’ anything from My infinite nature? Do I, as La Jetée not step outside ‘any point of reference from which I have been seized’ and hang on to My explicit Manifestation as My sole anchor? The face that he had seen was...

Personification as Multiple Subject in Knife in the Water 1962 by Roman Polanski

Personification as Multiple Subject In Knife in the Water (Nóż w Wodzie) 1962 by Roman Polański. Free jazz, saxophone and piano. Reflection of the forest and the sky on the windscreen blurring and rendering faceless a woman driver and a man. To You I am a Question Mark. As the first Audio-Visual to testify, I start with this confession. I need an audience. I cannot live without You. If My author is somewhere around, I also know that I am nothing without Your ‘steadfast attention.’ I am also nothing without the human characters I portray and nothing without the 1960 Polish environment of early socialist rule, enthusiasm and resistance. I am the rebellious and the censored Audio-Visual in one. I dare speak only of Myself. You as the director and You as the audience may see things differently, but I am asking for Your empathy. My testimony may fall short of Your expectations, mess around with Your theories but My confession is true and unrepentant. Indeed I am not seeking sat...

Personification of Tongue In Cléo de 5 à 7 1962 by Agnès Varda.

Personification of Tongue In Cléo de 5 à 7 1962 by Agnès Varda. Hands shuffling tarrot cards. Hands spreading cards face down on a table. Another pair of hands picks a card. The other hands overturn it. A voice without a face: The cards speak better if you appear. A finger points to one card and then another. You’re talented, you’re in music. Was Your Mother a Widow? You have a friend who’s a wido and she’s a negative influence? She took you away from Your home life. As a result you met a kind generous man. He made your artistic career possible. The hanged man means change. I see a fight now for the future. This is a bad card, little hope of marriage. This one a departure, a journey. The 3 fates. That’s you there. These cards are difficult to read. We must try again. Cut please. A sudden reveal of Irma the fortune teller and Cleo in black an white. To You I am a Question Mark, a ‘langage sans langue’ . As Cléo de 5 à 7 I express Myself through My Cards and My pointing Hands. I ...
