Synopsis
Widely regarded as Marker's masterpiece, this graceful, exhilarating and endlessly fascinating meditation on 'the dreams of the human race' weaves footage from Japan, Africa, Iceland, France and the United States into a breathtakingly imaginative voyage through global space, human history and the enigma of personal memory.
Deeply moving and delightfully witty, SANS SOLEIL is a landmark of personal documentary filmmaking and a work to revisit and savour over and over again. To mark its 20th anniversary, a new print of the restored original French-language version is being re-released and is narrated by Alexandra Stewart with English subtitles.
