‘If they don’t see the happiness in the picture, at least they’ll see the black’. Chris Marker’s hauntingly beautiful meditation on the meaning of travel begins with a picture of three Icelandic children at play, summing up an image of happiness caught on camera, but impossible to capture. Marker’s unknown filmmaker travels between developed and developing world, simultaneously disorienting and enlightening his audience. Possibly one of the best film essays ever committed to celluloid.
