Coréennes, Chris Marker, 1958

Chris Marker is one of my favorite filmmakers.

He used to be called in France as a "photographer poet". He is famous for his films such as La Jetée ( a photographies film), Sans Soleil - Sunless. He made a lots of documentaries. His work in very historical and anthropologic. He knew the art to reconcile art and knowledge. If you don't know this French filmmaker and artist I recommend you to watch Sunless.

Here the UBU link to watch one of his movies http://www.ubu.com/film/marker.html

I just received, from Paris, this book, Coréennes (english Korean Women). In 1958 he and a group of intellectual French went to North Korea to make a film. Finally they didn't realize any film but Chris Marker did this photography book.
