Cinema Atlas Connection
I think the work of Chris Marker in a way, in Sans soleil (1983), is a very interesting film, because it’s a film about memory and its impossibility. And a film about the fact that you remember things in a sort of broken line. I think that kind of work, for me, is extremely important.

Sans soleil is a very interesting film because it's a film about memory and its impossibility, and about the fact that you remember things in a sort of broken line.
