If you have not seen it, highly recommend the original film this was based on, La Jette as mentioned in the article. It is a (shortish) masterpiece of French SciFi, all in black and white, shot almost entirely in still scenes, and fully narrated.
And i would argue it does follow fairly closely in terms of script and meaning to the remake than the article suggests. It is much more subtle and nuanced.

- rasz 8y agoLa Jette reminds me of another under appreciated french movie Le Dernier Combat. Double first for Luc Besson and Jean Reno.
- gilbetron 8y agoA very disturbing PA movie, an amazing portrayal of the desolation and loneliness in that situation.
