Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

One of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, and a mind-bending, free-form travelogue.

"Enhanced for 16:9 televisions"--Disc label.

Booklet contains a critical essay by Marker scholar Catherine Lupton ("Memory's apostle : Chris Marker, 'La jetée', and 'Sans soliel'"), an autobiographical essay by Marker fans Catherine Brighton & Andrew Brighton ("This is the story"), an interview with Marker by Samuel Douhaire & Annick Rivoire ("Rare Marker : an interview", originally published in French in 2003, translated into English by Marker in 2007); and various notes by Marker.

Special features: video interviews with filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin (from 2005); "Chris on Chris" (a video piece on Marker by writer Chris Darke, 10 min.); two excerpts from the French TV series "Court-circuit (le magazine)" directed by Luc Lagier (a 2 min. long look at David Bowie's 1993 music video for "Jump they say", which was inspired by "La jetée" & a 9 min. long analysis of Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" and its influence on Marker).
