I saw this recently in a catalog at the moma:
La Jetée. 1962.
Written, directed, and photographed by Chris Marker.
With Jean Négroni.
Often billed as a landmark of science fiction,
Marker's story of menacing governmental experiments
and time travel is told through a succession of
still images and clear and chilling narration.
A rare screening of the original English-language
version. Courtesy New Yorker Films. 29 min.

has anyone seen this blurb ? Can anyone explain this
in context of the history of the general discussion about
la jetee:
"the original English-language version."
everyone and their mother talks about how they don't like
"the english language version ..."
also, does anyone know if the version of la jetee that is
on "short 2" is the new yorker provided one, or something
different ?
