This short film—a postapocalyptic story composed almost entirely of black-and-white still photographs — has been praised by cultural theorists and Netflix subscribers alike. In this illustrated study of \u003ci\u003eLa Jetée\u003c\/i\u003e, Janet Harbord focuses in part on the film's treatment of time — its shifts from a pre-war past to a projected future a further future of the future (each with its own signature images and sound) — arguing that in this way it addresses the nature of consciousness and the simultaneity of time-frames that we inhabit. Harbord moves easily from a close reading of the film to discussions of broader cultural issues, lucidly piecing together the enigma that is \u003ci\u003eLa Jetée\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Afterall Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043274670320,"sku":"9781846380488","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781846380488_p0.jpg?v=1763745940","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781846380488","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
