La Jetée

00:01:29 This is the story of a man, marked by an image from his childhood.

00:02:17 Nothing sorts out memories from ordinary moments.

00:02:56 And sometime after came the destruction of Paris.

00:04:38 The prisoners were subjected to experiments

00:06:53 Instead, he met a reasonable man who explained calmly

00:07:24 But the human mind balked at the idea.

00:07:59 This man was selected from among a thousand, for his obsession

00:10:24 A peacetime morning.

00:11:01 Sometimes he recaptures a day of happiness, though different.

00:11:39 which is perhaps that of his memory.

00:15:50 She wakes up.

00:16:42 an unadulterated trust will grow between them without memories or plans.

00:17:40 One day she leans toward him.

00:21:05 She too seems tamed.

00:23:21 Others were waiting for him.

00:24:11 and again the gates of the Future were closed.

00:24:46 the memory of a twice-lived fragment of time.

00:25:27 Once again the main jetty at Orly

00:26:06 And when he recognized the man who had trailed him since the underground camp
