Sans Soleil User Reviews

Sans Soleil has been heralded by critics for decades as a revolutionary piece of Avant-garde cinema. Perhaps, but that doesn't really mean it's particularly engaging. Like other Chris Marker films, it has a tendency to ramble. Ostensibly a of letters written to the narrator by a traveling cameraman, it seems more like a collection of found footage strung together with a 'story' made-up to lay over top. It's more like a travelogue, or someone's home movies or at best an art installation made to be sampled, than a feature film. Or perhaps I'm just showing my American bias for narrative? Well, you be the judge - here it is complete for French speakers. English speakers should track down the Criterion version... or not.
