La Jetée - a ciné-roman.

MARKER, Chris. 
La Jetée - a ciné-roman. 
Second printing. Small oblong 4to. Black cloth in dust wrap. Numerous b&w plates. English and French texts. New York: Zone Books, 2008. 

The book version of the legendary 1964 science fiction film about time and memory. Chris Marker, the undisputed master of the filmic essay, composed the film almost entirely of still photographs. This ciné-roman reproduces the original film’s images along with its accompanying text in both English and French. 

“This book version of La Jetée is, to my mind, astonishingly beautiful. It brings a total freshness to the work and a new way to use photos to deal with dramatic events. Not a film’s book, but a book in its own right — the real ciné-roman announced in the film’s credits.” —Chris Marker
