""In the opening moments of Sans Soleil, a cinematic essay and travel film made up of asides and digressions that form a portrait of late twentieth-century civilization, Marker takes us from rural Iceland in 1965 to Japan in the early 1980s, with fleeting references to Africa, รle-de-France, and the Bijagos Islands. 'Iโve been round the world several times and now only banality still interests me,' a narrator remarks." - Jonathan Rosenbaum"

The pain of living hidden behind the features of her dark face and forming smile. Simply she is beautiful and I am drawn in but there is more in her short stare something real for me to cling to like a how a baby clutches the motherโ"
