Three Haiku Videos

About This Movie

Three Haiku Videos is an intriguing exploration of the fleeting nature of imagery and memory, all wrapped up in a delicate, contemplative package. Chris Marker crafts three unique segments that feel like whispered thoughts rather than traditional narratives. Yanka / Tchaika’s quiet observation of the Seine captures a serene yet haunting atmosphere, while Owl Gets in Your Eyes combines the beauty of Catherine Belkhodja with the surreal presence of an owl—it's almost like a dream sequence. Petite Ceinture pays homage to cinema’s origins, featuring lonely train tracks that evoke a sense of nostalgia. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to soak in every frame. It’s a distinctive piece, showcasing Marker’s signature style in a way that feels both personal and expansive.

Visual poetry that challenges conventional storytelling.A blend of nostalgia and modernity in each segment.Unique use of practical effects and superimposition.
