Christ Marker died yesterday, and I’m really sad about it, because he was definitely one of my favorite living wackadoos. Until he died.
For those of you who didn’t go to graduate school, or don’t have silly intellectual pretensions, Marker was the director of films such as La JetĂŠe and Sans Soleil. He was also a travel writer, a militant, a hermit, and an avid lover of cats.
His films should still be available on Netflix. Check them out.
