La Jetée, a haunting 27-minute sci-fi masterwork set after an apocalyptic third world war. Except for one split-second shot, La Jetée unfolds entirely in grainy black-and-white stills, with a sonorous voiceover narrative and eerie sound effects. [...] Much influenced by Jorge Luis Borges itself immensely influential, La Jetée inspired Terry Gilliam's expensive 1995 picture 12 Monkeys.
