Movie #198 - The Pier (La Jetee) (1961)

* 1/2
 
My problem with this short film is that I wouldn't really consider it a film at all.  It is a slideshow with narration.  Sure, its somber sci-fi story is what inspired Terry Gilliam to make 12 MONKEYS...but if you can't comment on acting, directing, photography, or anything else....you can only comment on pictures.  That isn't a movie...and it was a bit frustrating for me.  The story?  Neat enough....but there was no reason this short film couldn't have been filmed properly instead of just posting chronologically significant pictures.
