CHRIS MARKER La Jetée / Sans Soleil (The Criterion Collection); DVD + Book
Criterion Collection/Short Film/Sci-fi/Art/Experimental/Documentary DVD + Book (Used)
One of the most influential; radical science-fiction films ever made and a mind-bending free-form travelogue: LA JETEE and SANS SOLEIL couldn't seem more different, but they're the twin pillars of an unparalleled and uncompromising career in cinema. A filmmaker; poet; novelist; photographer; editor; and now videographer and digital multimedia artist; Chris Marker (A Grin Without a Cat) has been challenging moviegoers; philosophers; and himself for years with his investigations of time; memory; and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. These two films tell a tale of time travel told in still images and a journey to Africa and Japan remain his best-loved and most widely seen. What Chris Marker does in the forty minutes or so of La Jetee is so astonishing that it's astonishing. Using only still frames (save for one shot) to tell his story, the film somehow manages to make us understand the characters, the dilemmas, and the story itself is just so unique and has been ripped off so many times by lesser talents - it's one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made and if you've never seen it you really are missing out. The transfer here is fine and I really recommend first watching it in French with subtitles and then in English, as both narrations have their pluses. Includes 46 page booklet.
ONESTO DIESEL (Graffiti) 2008 Brazil; Hardcover (Rare as shit!)
150 pages (Brazil) 1st Edition Graffiti/Street Art/Hip Hop/Culture Hardcover, Used (Ex)
The artist known as Onesto is a key player in Brazilian graffiti history. Influenced by hip hop movies from the 80's and comic books, at an early age it was clear for him how to express himself: by painting. As his work grew, he became known all over the world and was invited to a number of museums exhibitions and art events. His work captures the essence of the street lifestyle in Brazil, and as an artist he always has something to say. Combining his love for the fantasy and the mystic aspects of drawing with his passion for the streets, it is easy to understand why Onesto occupies such an important space on Brazilian graffiti history, that´s still being written.
